Hello @Chris Rendall@Patrice Penda is correct and usually the seasoning period is approximately 6 months.Let me know if you have any more questions, happy to help.

PERIOD.

We have let people rent back the house from us for a certain period of time or lined up a moving company for them as they just don't know how to do anything. 

The rationale behind this process is that this gives us a good cash flow for a long period of time before having to find and place another tenant, a process which can be costly and time-consuming in some markets. 

(dyslexia, not educated in AL though :)

There is also a constant pool of young educated talent with UT, ACC, TSU, A&M, Houston and Dallas are 3 hours away.  

So my question is, can buying to be built construction work the same as real property if it’s really just a preapproval up front (with contingencies would be fine), then a much longer waiting period to close?

The unit stays vacant for an extended period of time, and you have to lower the rent to fill it again.  

I came across this site not too long ago and am much more educated for it.

Then you get the renters in...if using a conventional loan, go through a 6-12 month seasoning period.
