Typically it's unfair to tenants to lock them into a 12 month contract without the same coming from the landlord.

I couldn't be any more land locked than Lubbock.

Brought music to my ears and he's been very successful every since.

Haha.Except, my purposes are to get a partner on a 29 unit deal that I have locked up right now in Texas!

I mean, think about it....If you have spent all that time and energy to lock a deal up that you need a buyer for, I think you have the knowledge and skill set to get the buyers on your own.

Then her eare my added  questions and concerns:commercial bank type, hedge fund backed buy to rent lenders:Not something all or many REI have access to, or would have any idea of how to find.private money, Easier to find than the list above, but not for new investors...who would be the ones most likely interested in this plan.seller financedSeller Financed loans are even harder to find...and even more rare. 

Wondering if anyone is about to lock a rate what they are currently being told on the rate...I will be owner occupying with 20% down.

Rates are going up, so I am looking at 3.9-4.1% most likely if I can lock it now, I am at 3.15 but it's an adjustable, which is up in two years.

Apparently, the tenant use to lock the dog in one of the bedrooms all day long.  

If they do, see how much business they are doing, how many properties that agent owns [this is important] and what types/areas the investors are buying in.Once you've found a few of these agents, I'd suggest volunteering for them once a week or what ever you can afford and go hang out with them and offer to run errands, put up signs, put on lock boxes and take pictures.Just a thought.
