The subject is a short sale 3/2 1300 sq. ft. in a nice neighborhood a few blocks from the waterfront (Gulf of Mexico).

I think it's a pretty solid bet that prime will go up here pretty shortly.

Rental units here are in short supply and renting for top dollar.Thanks again for your advice.

Hi Alexis,I wasn't trying to be short before.

I will be getting an inspector and an appraiser out there shortly.

Long story short, the seller's agent tried to force me to use him as my exclusive agent to buy the property.

So I would be doing both short term and long term deals.

Will living at a few addresses in a relatively short time affect my loan rate and/or terms?

Find those folks.Also look for agents that bill themselves as short-sale specialists.

So much so that the break in that we experienced a few short months after I took over, was handled more or less in stride.I still own 25 residential units and without having sharpened my teeth on them, I would not have had the ability or confidence to buy a storage facility.
