This allows the buyer to get into a home before they have enough money saved up for a traditional mortgage, as the seller is providing part or all of the funding.

However, it's important to remember this trend started in the not too distant past, and for a very long time before that the norm was separate rooms, so it's not surprising that there are actually considerable disadvantages of open floorplans and advantages of more traditional ones.Opening the kitchen to the rest of the house has to be one of the worst aspects of this trend.

Rent for $50/month.A 10 x 15 or 20 traditional outside access unit will run $3,100 installed.  10 x 20 same market rents for $65/month.Containers are only good for clients who can open/close them.

Also FYI if you are in the middle of a Refi traditionally DO NOT GET forbearance for any of your Rentals. 

Even though our families may be non-traditional, our religious faith and family values guide our lives.

If you've got good credit (680+ FICO), a seasoned rental property (24 month rent rolls), and equity, the terms from a traditional commercial lender would be ideal. 

I do believe the construction loan would need to be refinanced into something more traditional if I still have the property over 1 year.

When there isn’t much of a message, the fallback is traditional values and leveraging a religious angle.When you see investors selling multiple programs such as notes, flipping, subject-to, tax liens etc there is no way on earth they are an expert or investing in all of them.You may dabble in each but you will not have a business in each, and if you do I would love to see where they have the time to “train”

It's traditionally been and still is mostly a Section 8 neighborhood, but we recently rented a 3/2 non-section 8 for $950 and a 3/1.5 non-section 8 for $900.  

Rents in the area are anywhere from $1k-$1300 a month.My plan was to get a hard money loan to get it going and fixed up and ready for tenants, then within about 6-7 months refinance the home with a traditional lender, then sit with that home for awhile until I get fully comfortable with the one house.
