@Timothy Church and @Chris Broussard thank you both for the recommendations.

We received an offer from a church group that wanted to lease the property, but wanted me to do about $200,000 in repairs and improvements.My counter offer to them was for them to purchase the property instead, and obtain a community improvement loan for the repairs/improvements while I would owner finance a majority of the purchase price.

A church bought the property just before me but found out they couldn't build a church on it so they backed out.

@Joe Splitrock the last guy who looked at it said the ductwork already was running for two separate units (building was originally an old church converted to duplex!).

Her church in Utah has agreed to pay her monthly rent payment for a year but will not co-sign.

This is taught at churches around the country, so I am assuming you are familiar.

I’m familiar with the area. there is a small grocery down the block, churches, schools and busses.

I finally found an old friend from who used to go to our church.

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $27,000 Sale price: $207,000This was a fun flip that we are able to help a family from our church get into a house for a great price before it was ever listed. just like flip #11 this flip had more purpose then profit.

I have a friend from church who graduated from college about a year ago and is looking for a place to stay.
