You are definitely going to want to get a lawyer and as soon as possible.This will sound harsh.In your story, you have made a number of very poor decisions about how you purchased and managed this property. 

Here’s why lease options are a game-changer:🔹 Low Risk, High Leverage – Instead of buying a property outright, you lease it with the option to purchase later.

This implies that if I had confidence of better than normal appreciation or ways to add value, I would purchase a negative cash flow property.  

I've found an off-market property that would require $175k purchase, $35k down, $20k in repairs, with a conservative ARV of $235k. 

Purchase price: $125,000 Cash invested: $120,000 First try at turning a single family home into a duplex while going through the permit process for the first time.

Sadly, I might have to wait until early 2025 for #5, as my funds have dwindled from purchasing 1-4.

Purchase price: $240,000 Cash invested: $60,000 I purchased this duplex in distressed condition using owner financing for $240K and secured a $60K hard money loan for renovations.

Yes quite a few of our 5,000 options have rate and term or purchase!

Hey Cameron, for experienced investors I can lend up to 100% of the purchase and rehab costs on 1-4 unit properties.

I have programs that require only 10% down for the purchase, and will finance 100% of the rehab.
