Some lenders offer creative solutions, like a cross-collateralized loan, where they use your existing equity as security without refinancing the duplex.Another idea is partnering with private lenders or exploring a second-position mortgage, depending on your lender's terms.

By negotiating a significant discount, buyers can secure great deals while meeting the seller's urgent need to close the sale.

Quote from @Keilon Morton: I am looking to secure my first tax sale and need another investor to go in on the deal.

Separate accounts per property incurs a lot of overhead, such as minimum balances or fees for missing the minimum.I use separate accounts for each tenant's security deposits.

I just secured a deal in Solterra which seems to have everything in order regarding rules.

I guarantee you are more likely to secure favorable terms if the seller likes you and can imagine you as a great operator for the business.

However, eviction must be by cause (i.e. you can never evict without a justifiable reason - so more or less you are stuck with a tenant unless they stop paying rent or breach their lease, or some other narrow units such as moving in or curing code violations - though then you have to pay relocation costs).

Quote from @Matt Meier: Good morning,I’ve come across a renovation property available at a significant discount and would like to secure it without going the traditional 6-month financing route.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
