Thus sourcing the same property they are after is difficult as they are buying in all venues.

These options offer first dibs to owner occupant purchasers, so, again, if you could at least break even renting your current house (I'd consider the 50% rule and modify as appropriate - lots of info on that in the forums) you might be able to snag a great deal through one of these venues.

Unfortunately, most banks haven't received the memo, so your local friendly banker may want to see a "legitimate" business.

There are a lot of good legitimate articles and websites out there.
