@Elizabeth Colegrove  some banks go off of freddie rules for their underwriting or adopt certain GSE's rules however if you find a banker like the place I am connected with where we sell direct to the GSE's we can "peg," the loan to a specific program.Big box banks like Wells, BofA, Chase, Citi, will not be able to do that, atleast that I am aware of.

My name is Ryan Chase, and I stumbled upon the BP podcast and community today.

I don't mind being an investors bird dog and or the person just doing their work.

I'm considering Chase, Navy Federal, or Veteran's United... 

If those that chase the "deal" from the rules of thumb advocated here they will be doing a lot less business than if they learn to buy wisely with better RE knowledge.

More less he pays all the bills and I make very little.Thanks, Chase

I now have all my tenants (middle-level properties, all educated middle-class tenants) pay everything through Chase QuickPay - I chose Chase for my business account for this reason.   

@Ryan Chase  There are a few reasons selling with seller financing can be a better option.1.

Kills two birds with one stone.Your paying down your mortgage instead of your landlords mortgage & earning rental income.Financing for owner occupied homes (1-4 units) is the cheapest you can get.

An inspector would help tremendously with it, but you could be sending him on a wild goose chase for properties too.
