It’s simple math but the other part is making sure you listen to “motivation” from the seller/client so their willing to trade equity over convenience.

When we did the homework with the Housing Authority, we discovered that what was a so-so rental was actually a pretty great deal when the current standard was applied. 

Your solution is an example of terrible math.

Just getting into the property space and continuing to do my homework as I wait out this period and prepare to jump into my first property using the BRRR method.

You'll need to run some math based on how much you plan to sell. 

I am some what familiar with interest only loans, and I have heard of people doing what I can only describe as "CD" style loans, where they lend an amount of money and receive the entire principle+interest at the end of the term.Some rough math would have us looking to raise $100,000 on a 1 year term. 

Run the numbers and the math will tell you what to do.

But if you get to keep it and make say 10% a year (just cause it's easy math for me) then that's $700 a year you get to use for yourself.
