They usually limit seller assistance to a few percent.If the seller were to sell you a house for $100K and do owner financing, such as a wrap or a contract for deed, and you were to make payments to them for a while, then you should be able to find a bank that would do a refi.

We want to buy multiple properties, and have limited cash.

I just have a few rentals, and wanted to know where to get a REAL credit report, and background check on my applicants.

Do you know what your policy limitations are?!?

Especially one triggered by their breech of a contract.You could remind them it would be far less traumatic for you to make your current buyers whole than it would be for them to have a foreclosure permanently attached to every mortgage application they fill out from now on.

I think a 5 page rental application for a $600 rental is ridiculous and a big waste of time for the landlord.

Consistently came in high, even after cherry picking the most applicable comps, leaving the flips and short sales out.

Depending on how many properties you own you might be up against Fannie/Freddie limits on max # of financed properties being 4.

At the offering price this house seems too risky for the limited return.

I use my HELOC for investments and becuase of my "fear" of the lender reducing the limits, I have kept it maxed out, for the most part, rolling money from one investment to the other rather than paying it down and reducing interest, as that would be a point in which the lender could reduce my limit and I would no longer have that full amount available.
