The great thing about talking to an agent who has experience with house hackers is that they may have information about lending options you don't know about.One thing I've learned as I've gotten started is that it's unrealistic to expect yourself to know everything.

And eventually liquidated their properties and began private lending in both realestate and other ventures.And so, they showed me their home.

We know it could unlock our ability to buy a lot more properties, a lot sooner, and with greater ease, because we could completely avoid the limitations and lending criteria of banks.But we also tend to believe that Seller Financing is rare and hard to find (especially in a competitive Seller’s market), or that it’s difficult to negotiate even if you can find it.That may just be a limiting belief, however.

I've heard that supreme lending is offering a nice deal for down payment assistance on FHA.

Banks will only lend on appraised value after 6 months (sometimes 12, depending on lender) of seasoning.  

Technically, this is part of the lending process so one would think it should be amortized.  

My DTI is somewhat higher than I want it to be, and is not where my local lender wants it to be to offer conventional lending.

If you are not in the lending business WAshington DC is probably the last place I would seller finance a property.

Their lending will take longer while the investor will be more likely to close quickly.Most likely the best option to get the most money is to list it on the open market with a Realtor. 

@Javaras ThomasBanks are going to look at debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) to determine how much they will lend to you, not ARV.
