This is very useful.You could build a deck or gazebo to house a hot tub.

Quote from @Antoine Black: I have a house that free and clear and I'm trying to tap in the equity can any one help  Hey Antoine, As Mike stated, your best bet is a local credit union.

Since it's rare to find a buyer, the agreement expires and you have a willing seller to negotiate a deal with. 

congrats on the first duplex. easiest will be house hack your next property. you can go higher in units up to 4 but just need to occupy the property. lets connect if you need guidance, i house hacked a few times

Context, i bought a house at a foreclosure auction.

Ultimately you will have to sell your house at a discount. 

There's lots of opportunities in developing neighborhoods, but also seems a bit saturated at the moment.Also, definitely budget security (remote control cameras, alarm system, etc.) for your properties, as there are a lot of people who occupy themselves by breaking into houses and stealing anything they can sell.Lastly, there are a ton of contractors looking for a quick buck.

hi @Jaycee,  the top floor(the one you see on the listing 8915 E Wes Pl Tucson), is essentially a ground floor as far as entering and exiting the home as the bottom floor(finished basement etc) is underneath it built into the other side of the foothill the house is sitting on.  

You can usually request this from a title company or look into public records in your county’s clerk or recorder’s office.If you’re not sure how to navigate this, contacting the auction house or a real estate attorney familiar with foreclosure auctions can help ensure there aren’t surprises.

It means the seller has listed the property with a flat fee listing service.
