(we met some of those room-mates and they gave us the scoop as to what was going on).The building is great - brick, newly built, good condition - and based on our comps - each of the 3 bedroom 2 bath units should be renting at around $1800-$2200/month (current condition vs fixed up)The leases were were given (signed March 1 and we bought building on March 3) are $1000, $1100 for the 3 bedroom units of sis and bro and $1300 of the tiny basement unit rented by non family members.  

I feel like I need this printed as a creed on my office wall. 

You just added something to my very tiny toolbox (but it's growing).

So I have a seller interested in Sub to but the loan officer told here he wouldn’t finance her second home.

Hang out in a property management office for a week or so and see what you think.

I have a small mixed use apartment/commercial property, and another commercial property with 2 office suites.

I am a real estate investor (with a concentration in buy-and-hold properties) as well as a Police Officer for the city and I will warn you that crime is an issue.

I'd suggest picking up the phone or stopping by the local code enforcement office.

I work closely with the REC, AGs office and the state legislator in Maryland and DC on regulatory and legislative issues around real estate and housing.

Is their any LO officer I can get in-touch with that can educate me on how to swing this deal or the route I can take to make it happen.
