Heck, you can just buy a property, live in it for a year and move back in with him if you want.One thing to also consider is if you put your money into real estate, it is locked in to an asset that will give you cashflow, appreciation, tax benefits and loan pay down.

To properly manage my properties - Depends on the property type, location, number of unitsGet the most out of tax benefits- @John WoodrichReview and revise my leases - @Brad Schaeppi

One of my acquisitions managers cold-called the homeowner, met in person that same week, and locked it up on the spot.

=)@John Underwood No, my lease does not currently say this. 

A few observations: Both @Joe Splitrock and @John Underwood are onto something--getting them out is the right away is the thing to do.

@John C. you won’t find that with a conforming loan, much less non-qm.

@John C.

@Chris John, apologies I meant to tap you as the OP on this.

@John Underwood Unfortunately all rooms are located upstairs so there is no way to build a private entrance.

And if the deal is first, how do you lock it up before an all-cash buyer comes in and nabs it up while you’re looking for financing?
