The teacher is a broker named Cherie Nelson.

So if you can get a zoning variance to enable you to use it as a legal office,  wedding venue, accounting office, day care center. 

Both of these will keep your costs down for expenses and will enable you to get some cash to put down for your next investment.

The fact that they would respond with anything other than "YES" or "BAFO because of multiple offers" is beyond me.You gave the seller an inch of rope and now they're trying to strangle you with the whole darn thing -- I would say you are comfortable with the offer you gave at the terms enclosed.The why is sort of irrelevant, they obviously have something in mind but if you put a property on the market and someone offers you more than asking, as my old English teacher would say, "shut up and take your apples."

I do need to talk to him about it and maybe setup an area away from the house but at that point I am just enabling.

I owe 80k total and am looking to keep taking the next step.About me: I am a full-time school teacher/coach in NW Indiana.

I am currently a full-time middle school teacher, but I also manage a portfolio of about 20 properties in Delaware currently.

But being long-distance investors (first time, no less) we are trying to leverage technology; I was hoping you all could help us build our team in order to enable us to reach our goals.Goals: We are looking to complete two flips within the next 12 months, and eventually grow that to four flips a year.

@Ray Realdine I will offer another reason you should think about altering your process.One of my best tenant, a retired school teacher did not apply on Cozy because she did not feel comfortable with entering her social on that site.

The kids we currently have also seem to like their 65-80inch smart TV's with WiFi that enables heavy streaming.
