No the one year occupancy is not just ignored for the seller.No idea what Mom's income, credit and assets are so cannot tell you if she helps your profile or not.

Thanks for any help.

Hope that helps!

During the recent period of low interest rates I acquired some rentals with a 15% down payment in order to stretch my cash further toward down payments on additional properties.This helped with the down payments and my math showed that even with a little higher interest rate compared with 20% down and the PMI until I was able to remove that this would still be the wiser choice. 

I appreciate the help

Hey guys, Looking for input on a retail deal I'm helping a friend with.
