i.e. getting outbid on offers, properties become unavailable before you get a chance to see them, etc...You are not alone!

Caring about the quality of the housing you offer and the way you treat tenants, does more for tenancy success than caring about their source of income (assuming it is legal and verifiable, which S8 is). 

I they accepted an offer of $118K from my brother but since he couldn't get the loan, we're starting over.

Our goal is to identify a property and make an offer before the end of 1Q 2025.

The Heloc can also pose as a debt obstacle since its an open end mortgage a.k.a credit card.a mortgage is also set up over 30 years so it offers a lower rate and payment. 

Effectively offering more than 100% financing.  

I made a relatively low offer and after one negotiation we settled on a price that was about 45% lower than the original list price.

Some ideas I've considered:Equity Buyout: Having another investor or my partner buy out my 40% equity.Seller Financing: Selling my equity and offering seller financing to the buyer.Selling the Property: Liquidating the property entirely and splitting the proceeds.Does anyone have experience with situations like this?

For instance - I am looking to see if anyone has experience with installing recessed lighting into a horse hair plaster ceiling and if anyone could offer advice on the process I should take when doing so? 

They used to offer exclusive properties but now it appears that they are pulling MLS listings and will connect you with an agent.
