I myself just purchased my first buy and hold early December last year and took care of minor issues and had a rented in place on a nice 14 month lease. currently hunting for my second one as we speak.

2 things come up when I read this, finding multi-units and lease-to-own options. 1.

It was a rocky road with the first property under contract the leases came out showing lower rents then we were told and decided to break contract.

Hello All, I gave a tenant their 30 day notice 40 days ahead of time, the lease is set to expire on the 15th of March.

A summary of that conversation is that the building's in good shape and leased out completely, but the seller wants a cash buyer, which is why it's priced attractively. 

I suppose I could borrow those funds from a family member and then pay them back with the owner-financing proceeds over the next year, but then I lose the benefit of owner-financing (i.e. the interest).Not sure the buyer can wait until my listing agreement expires, as their lease expires in May, a month before my agreement.

I have read about surcharging the residents a certain amount (maybe $25-50/month)  Do I just include that in my loan amount or can that just be listed in the lease as a separate expense for the tenants? 

I am trying to determine if I need a separate LLC to lease the in-law suite from myself to then rent out through aribnb.  

Do you know of any property, whether off-market commercial or residential, that could be leased by a church group. 

However, we always had in the lease that they must find someone to sublease to get out of their lease and are responsible for a $250 sublet fee and $50 turnover fee.
