I've hidden keys before and used a rigorous screening to allow folks to let themselves in the home but that was a risk waiting to happen.

The thing is, this change isn't an all around win, there is the loss of being able to resume following a topic from where you left off following; instead, we now have to do additional navigation.  

I'm happy to help you navigate these challenges and find a solution that works for you and your investments.Please note that I am currently on paternity leave and spending less time on BiggerPockets, but would love to help however I can.

Many buyer's use FHA and navigate these issues.

Feel free to reach out for assistance in navigating the Houston real estate market.

Unless you have a realtor or seller willing to credit the difference to make the deal happen.Both of these programs require:- Must be Owner Occupied- Must fit within county income limits - Must fit with maximum loan amounts based on FHA conforming and high balance limits - Standard vanilla ratios (DTI) depending on program type The last option is from a Non-Profit called NACA.While NACA requires everyone to become members and go through a rigorous process, and many agents and sellers believe they are extremely slow in processing and funding, the program is 100% financing covering all closing costs.Pro’s:- Credit score isn’t used- No fees no closing costs- 100% financing based on county limits- No income limits- Can lend in 50 statesCon’s:- Required to be a member for 5-10 years with monthly payments and volunteer when they need you - Slow processing I hope this helps.  

I was curious if any landloards have had to navigate this when it comes to screening.

Together, Jonathan and I exhausted ourselves attempting to navigate a potential deal with this seller.

QuestionHow do you guys navigate these above changes.

I'm super frustrated and am sure someone in this forum can help me navigate this situation.
