As we all know, you are really paying for the commission in the purchase price. 

We purchased the house about 3 months ago and are owner financing it.

I want to purchase an underperforming asset at a Price of X.

Have you guys ever purchased a property without physically seeing it?

For an auction.com purchase in Washington you have 2 options. 

I have used HELOCs for probably most of the purchases of the properties I own. 

I've got about $525K in equity in the property, but lenders have told me that I cannot get a HELOC to access that equity for additional purchases because the duplex was financed as an investment - they have said TX law dictates that HELOC can only be used on primary residences.

If you are coming in with 235k, you probably would not need much more, if any, to make the purchase.

To defer all tax you must purchase in total at least as much as your net sale.

The owner has purchased a property like any other real estate transaction, and they own the physical property.
