And even if they do, they have to be fairly motivated to be willing to do so (even if you've built rapport and all that good stuff).If they are motivated, usually that means the property needs work and they almost certainly won't lend over and above what you buy the property for.

Just make sure to look into the HOA’s financials, rules, and rental policies before buying.

Quote from @Christopher Lynch: I recently watched an episode of BiggerPockets where the guest discussed how he started a real estate investment company and buys commercial properties with 0% down.

I am under contract to buy and flip a house that I am paying $615K for. 

Even if you take the $250,000 the realtor mentioned it would sell for as your basis that would mean you're looking at an $80k gain: 380,000 - (250,000 + 50,000 improvements) = 80,000Since you want to buy a nicer home for your mom, a 1031 exchange may not be applicable if the new property is intended for personal use, as 1031 exchanges are for investment or business properties only.

He claimed if he didn't get the money he could not buy supplies to complete the job, which would be done in a week(I knew this wasn't true). 

From there, you can move on to the BRRRR method with single-family homes—buying undervalued properties, rehabbing them, renting them out, and refinancing to pull out your investment for the next deal.

I already have a hand shake deal on the next property, another duplex, that I will buy come summer time.  

Did you all buy your lots from them?
