(the lender is a person, a regular person with extra money).

Had a chat with the person as they came out of the unit, he said he only stayed there last night, he doesn’t live there.

I would suggest you run some of the scenarios by your tax person as well and see how each of the investment benefits you/hurts you.  

Hi,I have been looking for a property with specific details in a particular area of Las Vegas, to the point where I know the exact specs of the house I am looking for, and the neighborhood I want it to be in.When I am not looking for real estate I run a consulting business, and I am starting to see a lot of similarities in between.Ideal client persona, lead generation, cold emailing/calling, getting your pitch dialed in etc.With my business, I know where to find leads by searching on a few websites where I have a membership that collects information such as employee count, last round of funding etc.I would like to apply some of my business strategies to real estate, but I am not sure where I can find information about properties, filter by lot size, tenant eviction, amount of equity someone has in a house etc.

You want a separate landing page for each of your target personas. 

Morning Isata,there's a saying "give a person a fish and they eat for a day, teach a person to fish and they eat for a lifetime."  

Thinking this would be a near worse case scenarioRehab PlanThinking I could possibly do interior upgrades, modernize the office into something appealing, (could be as simple as removing the paneling and exposing the brick, redividing the offices, updating the baths etc) and then rent out individual office spaces and charge $400-600 a mo for each office space - They'd be gross leases and I'd take care of all utilities, janitorial etc -- would not provide any onsight receptionist, fax machines etc -- each person would provide their own office equip -- I could potentially provide office furniture if needed, plenty of good used stuff to be found locallyThinking at a min 7-8 office suites, possibly more -- Per agent and my knowledge of community/research online I dont think a setup exists like this to attract possibly an IT person, a 1 man/woman business such as an accountant etc.  

Maybe work for this person as you are learning about the business.  

I have a friend with some weird circumstances, here's the story:Person A can't get a loan but has income.Person B took a loan for Person A for a duplex at 500kPerson A paid back Person B for Down payment and is paying Mortgage on time for 10 yearsAfter the bubble burst, property price dropped to $200kPerson B did a loan modification for Property in 2014.Loan is now $200k.Person A now found his calling and is leaving the country.Person B buys out Person A for $130k cash and continues paying mortgage (since its his anyway)Loan Modification had a clause upon termination of mortgage a 25% fee is due of difference between initial loan value of $200k and current property value at termination.Person B wants out but would want to see the $130k back somehow.The two units are rented out for a total of $2000/monthThis is in Chicago 60618.Comps are $350k~$500k depending on conditionTaxes are about $6k annually.Water is about $1,500 annually.Tenants pay other utilities.How would I help Person B (my friends uncle, Person A is family as well), at the same time get some value out of it?

That question is highly dependent on the person. As
