So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend seeking opportunities to negotiate a rate buydown at a seller’s expense or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?

You can also target 2-4 unit multifamily homes like a Duplex or Tri-plex to help take advantage of the other unit rents.

Then I would ask the current tenant if they wanted to give the apartment up the day before  the new tenant's desired date and reimburse the current tenant for the number of days the new tenant paid.

It should be a fairly easy process to set that up for the new tenant.

Since I'm still new to this, would the community here please suggest what I should do to make sure I'm protected and good?

Hi all-I am new to this forum and look forward to learning from you all. 

I was initially going to put down 10%-15% but the new lending requirements only required 5% down- allowing me to keep additional capital for reserves.How did you add value to the deal?
