@Mark ShubinHouse hacking means buying a place and living in one part while renting out the rest to pay for the loan.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

@Bethany Travis, the short and straightforward answer is to pay a real estate attorney to draft a purchase and sale agreement with an exhibit to assign the contract.

This year she ghosted me after paying her!

I talked to a couple vacation rentals that don't really handle the STR and they aren't seeing much enforcement as long as you pay taxes on the income and not causing issues with the neighbors.

There are brokerages out there that allow you to pay by transaction not by commission. 

We give the customer 3 options on permits , pay us our hourly rate , get the permit themselves , or pay a permit service .  

So I need to pay them off or keep them on the books and continue buying property with DSCR loans from now.  

In my own personal finances, I do work with a fee only advisor - I pay him a fixed fee out of my pocket based on net worth, and he doesn't collect anything for investment in particular funds, particular brokerages, financial products, etc.

If you buy at 373k, you're probably paying around 2,200 a month in mortgage.
