I have a few buyers interested in buying a fixer upper and they cannot get approval with traditional financing.

the solutions suggested that hold the open sash in place, pinching the AC unit in its place will not work against a thief with the leg strength of a teenager.

Plus I love marketing so I don't think I'll be in a hurry to retire.I never thought about flipping duplexes but after looking at the market It looks like I'll need to buy a fixer upper to get a good deal and flip it for cash.

If its in a neighborhood thats medium income and a lot of rentals then its fine, if its in a nicer upper class neighborhood then convert it back to a garage. 

It's a fixer-upper triplex with fourth unit in the back, ~80k. the goal is to live in it and possibly do a BRRRR. probably looking at an FHA 203k or hold off and rehab it over time as i get the money, potentially using the cash flow to rehab it. 

Cut em down a bit, put in a chair rail for a wainscoting setup, then drywall the upper half?

There is nothing wrong with putting in the leg work and getting after it, it all pays off anyways.

I bit off more than I could chew with the fixer-upper I bought 2 years ago.
