Rockwell Institute is the best as far as I am concerned.

That has been a concern of mine, as I have only owned SFR to this point. 

From my experience, living in the same home provides some type of "security" in that the people that are paying rent have to see the landlord every day and it would be unwise to act in a manner that would cause concern.

Everyone has made extremely valid points and showed me I may have a fairly skewed view on how people would take the gift.One of the many concerns would have been that after the first gift the tenant or tenants might start demanding I lower the rent 1/12 instead of gifting them a free month.Thisnhas left me a lot to think about but I can definitely see it would not work out like I thought it would work out.P.s.

It depends on rent to mortgage ratio for your home concerning point 3 in my opinion!

Here's the population growth over the past decade:Athens 32.8%Madison 23.5%Huntsville 13.6%Florence 3.6%Decatur -2.2% (yes, the population has decreased)That trend, to me, is quite concerning."

Hi @Bryan Igboke, I’ve read some power tips about your concern, you might want to check and read it as well;https://besttransactionfunding...I wish you goodluck and hope it will answer your question.

I have a downpayment saved, good credit, but do not own assets and my income is historically up and down due to commission checks from brokerageIm concerned that I’ll waste time looking for deals and making offers to ultimately not get financing - Should I be reaching out to lenders first to see an amount I would get approved for and then look at deals that fit?
