I am not sure what your financial situation is or if you have a 401K as an option to borrow but this has worked for us. 

Let the tenant know this in writing and if you need to, also speak with them, but always in writing first in these situations. 

Dissolving the LLC and distributing the property to the former members as tenants in common and then selling is a relatively common practice in these situations. 

Nice situation where talking to a neighbor resulted in the purchase of a house! 

Feel free to message me, I would be glad to give you my opinions on where I think a good market would be based on your financial situation.  

Hi Joshua,It sounds like you’ve got a solid situation—congrats on positioning yourself so well!

There are laws (and statutes with three "T"s) that may apply in these situations on both a state and federal level.

I think everyone's situation is different, and when one crafts their buy box, they need to consider their current family and finances.For me, when I started, I wanted to buy 2-4 unit distressed properties in neighborhoods I wanted to live. 

That said, the other agent and I frequently reduce our commissions on these deals to make them work and, even if the agents don't, the seller would still be getting around 3% at closing with a 10% down payment which, to me, could be a win-win depending on their situation.
