Collaborating with Jeff Dildine, who sourced the deal and negotiated terms, we ensured seamless progress.

Also look on Loopnet for any similar type rentals, sq ft, NNN, lease terms, $ sq ft, etc. 

I quit his site because I was not benefiting from the same old advice. 

With that said- there are other programs that can accomplish similar benefits in terms of minimal down payment options, etc. 

You may be doing more harm than good focusing on short term monetary gains at the expense of how many in the industry will perceive you moving forward.

Even looking at the balanced rate (which I feel like is hard because the terms are different) along with the potential to have the monthly payment/fees covered, it feels like a cash out is a better option if we did want to keep this.Part of the current struggle is that the market was hit harder from the rate increase so sales are almost at a standstill and even with trying to sell the house, the rental market is doing substantially better because most military cannot afford to purchase in this area as the payments are over 6k/mo for buying vs 3-4k/mo for renting.Any advice is most appreciated!

I am considering taking the CO/national real estate exam + course hours requirement and becoming an independent broker or associating with a small brokerage (I can see the benefit of associating with a firm experienced in the area and able to bounce ideas off of).
