I have researched several options through banks near me and am having difficultly knowing how decide which to choose.

Tenants gain entry through this door regularly.  

The lease (with the current college students) was just renewed through their 2025 school year.I'm trying to figure out how to make this happen with little-to-no money down, as I have other 'irons in the fire' at the moment.I'm planning to offer $400-450k for the home, and am trying to structure something where a conventional lender would loan an amount that would be covered by the current rental rate (lets just say $300-350k)...   ...then, anything outside of that amount, would be carried by the Seller (for a short while)...   ...Seller financed with a ballon in 5-years?  

I have been looking to House Hack a property through an FHA 203k Loan.

Looking through it now, appreciate it. 

I have had 14 listing appointments generated through their service in three months and have a funnel of many many more.

This is new to me and I know NJ isn't the best state to be a landlord, so trying to figure out what my rights are.Secondary question - is it worth going through the small claims process to recover $7,000 from this person?

I have purchased a few properties through tax sales, sometimes you can find great deals.

We live in such a day and age that sending things through email is not safe, you are compromising that PII (personal identifiable Identification). 

I don't believe you can just rent to section 8 without having gone through the approval process
