I’d suggest negotiating the furniture into the sale and then slowly swapping pieces later as you personalize the space.

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

Hello Wade, We have a couple of list providers we use for searching public records for sales with seller financing.

I understand why some people may not like this... but for me, I don't want the hype and platform sales. i want real usable content.

Cash invested: $60 Sale price: $365,000 Sub-to deal with homeowner pre-foreclosure How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

You could force the seller to bring it up to code before the sale is complete as one of the contingencies of buying it, let them deal with it.

We actually just listed the duplex for sale if you are interested!

You could also do a cost seg on the $500K sale which depending on what the dirt is worth you can take a large deduction year one of renting it. 

The building is now vacant in the bottom portion including by sister's business.

There are a couple of car washes in my local area that are for sale that I am interested in but do not know where to start.
