I to be honest don't know if that price is ok my numbers work out great but I am a noob and could very well have numbers wrong.I know normal duplexes in the area sell for 30k less then this but most of them look like they are in need of updates pretty seriously. this looks like it would attract very nice tenants with proper screening granet counter tops excetera.So with me living in the studio I wrote the rents as 850 each so 1700 total my morgage would be around 619 Now taxes are absolutly atrocious in this area 486 ouch insurance I put as 1000 a year not sure if that would be accurate need help there.so about 560 total between the two.

But I do agree that I need to actually figure out how to analyze a deal and run numbers to see which potential homes could work out.

Assuming the analysis was based on full occupancy of paying tenants, the numbers don't work out.

Send me a message if your interested in seeing if we can work out a deal where you take the property and I take business.

My question is this:In negotiating with this lender for the second mortgage, how likely am I to be successful to work out a deal before the auction date?

You can not wholesale any property without having to pay your broker a percentage / flat fee, whichever you work out with them.  

They get your house if your business deal doesn't work out.

I am also able to change my job to make a little less $ and work maybe 40-45 hours a week, which is a finacial hit I can take, while still having the option to go back to more $ at 50-55 hours a week if any of this doesn't work out. 

I cannot do anything to get her out so it is a domestic situation that they need to work out.  

I am just unsure if my business partner and I would be able to work out a fee paid to us by the investment company - or if we would need a commercial broker involved?
