I have 880 credit score, decent savings, and no other debt except for 300K mortgage on my primary residence (worth $1.5 million).

It's a shared house so they have no renter's rights giving the owner huge leverage and control. 

They have no cash to qualify for a rental or even pay for the move. 

Since I've owned just a few days over a year, I'm not a happy camper and have no doubt they knew this was going to happen when they took my money last November. 

Looks like there is no one from Allentown here at BP Hendrix.

I also invest in other assets such as stocks, and private companies as well. for RE agents I see absolutely no conflict.. its their job.. not every agent starting out can afford to buy a rental.. and note very agent even wants to own a rental ( like me) I only like to deal in land when I sold RE to the public .

Buy the Duplex, NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!  

I have 1000 sqft so $250k.if I have no GC and manage all the subcontractors I will not have a Rolodex so have to find subcontractors and I’m sure there are a million other complexities.

Period, full-stop, no exceptions. 

The signing parties are "stopped" from saying anything different after they sign the letter.Each Tenant Estoppel Letter states the attached copy of the tenant lease is accurate and was signed by the tenant, there are no other written or verbal agreements, the tenant has paid rent through a certain date, and there is no prepaid rent other than the current month.
