To reach there first year it is unheard of.

@Lance Knapp If you have the money to relocate the tenants in rent-controlled units (usually around $8k - $18k+ per unit), and then fix up the unit, you are free to charge whatever you want to the new tenant. 50% - 100% rent increase is not unheard of in the right location.

Second of all i wouldn't suggest you going with an unheard of lender as that could cause problems like you said at closing so just stick with a trusted lender even if that means some extra headache.

There are some really good resources on BP and some PRO members that are literally EXPERTS.  10 years ago it was unheard of, its been my observation that this sort of financing is becoming more mainstream as of late. 

Make sure you do your due diligence on the lenders it's not unheard of to ask for them for some customers they landed to and to check them out , the worst they can say is no .

3 weeks late is absurd. 125k for a duplex, practically anywhere these days is unheard of (your area certainly is no Ohio / Kansas!) 

Also, 5000+ sf for $250K isn't unheard of in this area, especially in the cities far from downtown like that one is (it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere).

It’s not unheard of for listing agents to submit a bid in order to get you into a “multiple offer” situation and encourage you to raise your offer at least once or twice.

With in this decade the Korean population in Atlanta will exceed that of Chicago and Seattle which would have been unheard of 10 years ago.

That is unheard of here.
