The original owner decided not to rent but flip for quick cash to pay for some medical expenses.

.* I have a 9-year-old chapter 7 bankruptcy that was due to medical bills.My parents have offered to help me financially, which would consist of them taking out a line of credit on a rental property they own free and clear to loan to me, which I would be required to repay at a flat 10% of the money borrowed (for down payment, fixed & holding costs, and renovations).  

I do not have any experience with that because of my medical recovering and I still cannot.  

I recommend that you contact Apartment Medic in Syracuse.

If you are near a hospital consider marketing to traveling nurses/medical staff.

Ya, this seller is unloading some of his properties for medical reasons...

It would not take many medical bills to exceed $100,000 in damages by your tenant. 

Now I have never been to Massachusetts so I can not give you any geographical thoughts on that state or the northeast of the Country because I have never been there.I. am 60 years old now and I found BP about 19 months ago while recovering from a medical problem I still have.  

The C Corp allows be rent my house 14 times per year to my company, write off medical expenses not covered by insurance, travel, entertainment, etc.Feel free to PM the next time you're in Indy, I'd be glad to dig into this deeper.

I am 60 years old and found BP about 19 months ago while medically recovering and looking into something I would enjoy for another 10 year or so.
