I used a local realtor and learned that most realtors are not comfortable offering below market value.

I am good at analyzing numbers/propertiesI am good at excel and can record informationI am good at communication and I am comfortable speaking with seller agents/vendors

Our main problem right now is that if we don’t plan to move into the property then every lendor I have spoken to considers it a commercial loan which makes the down payment 25% or 20% at best, which would wipe out more of our savings than we are comfortable with.

we made it comfortable. 

Most typical in today’s low interest rate environment is interest rates 8-12%, points 1-4, and terms 12 months - 36 months.

Also, to find a single family with an ideal layout that allows for room sharing in a comfortable manner will be even more challenging in my experience.

PM me if you aren’t comfortable responding publicly.

The tenants have expressed that they want to buy the property because their family is already moved in and comfortable there.

Take comfort in the fact that action is the clearest way to progress.

Pretty new to all of this so I will need to study a bit more before I'm comfortable.
