Drywall - I'm assuming the whole property will need to be re-drywalled. 

But there is an exception that allows 3.5% down so long as your cosigner is a family member and: 1) the cosigning family member is not also the seller and 2) if the property is not 2-4 units. 

I trust my realtor, but I still need to ask - can anyone think of any offer stipulations that would be red flags that the realtor cares more about closing the deal more so than getting a good deal for us as buyers?

Knowing it could be re rented with zero vacancy so what is the harm.

Also, the existing leases would have to be re-signed with the Mgt LLC. 

Again, let me reiterate that the use of old reports would only be relied upon to terminate a contract for purchase.

Selling for 1 years worth of appreciation sounds like it would be relying on huge appreciation to be worthwhile.

There is that a family member is living in a detached carriage house on her grandmother's property. 

I am closing on my first duplex next week and as a pro member I am planning on using the Bigger Pockets lease agreement.

Can it be re-zoned to allow for different types of housing since there is such a shortage of affordable housing?
