You can usually also benefit more by simply using the seller or builder credit to do a simple "Rate buydown".The first rate on the buydown is a "teaser" rate that only last for a short time 1 year for example but a true rate buy down is for the entire term. 

I am selling a property in CA with a pretty hefty gain (great!)

The easiest way to get around any of this is to hire a competent property management firm to handle everything. 

I got a property under contract 3 weeks later, YAY!!

Hello BP,Recently, I decided to move out of the house that was my primary residence for four years and make it a rental property.

Hi everyone,I'm looking to learn more about legal protections for rental properties as I plan to expand my real estate portfolio.

@Tosin Oluwatoye and @Jason Rowlett I am actually constructing two tiny homes (454 & 340 sq ft) on one small lot and will market them as a multi-family property.

Terms for the seller 2nd have generally been 5%, interest only, 5 years.I'm only considering properties under this scenario that cashflow well immediately, in addition to having a strong value-add element.

I would like to use my old home as a rental property, which has a significant amount of equity.

I purchased my first property back in Jun of 2020.
