@Vanessa RocaTry a duplex as your first property and your tenant pays most or all of your mortgage.

Answers to any, or all, of these questions would be helpful and much appreciated.

If I invest $50,000 and use $450,000 in debt then sell for $1,000,000 in ten years is $50,000, $100,000 or all of the gain tax free? 

Almost any home that goes sold has some defects, but unless there’s many many egregious issues all together (completely shot foundation requiring total overhaul, multiple HVAC units on their last legs, unsafe electrical needing rewiring, total plumbing disaster, broken sewer lateral, holes in roof) you should be fine, as long as you are pulling good comps and you have an even half way competent home inspector that can identify most or all of these potential issues.

You can take a chance and use some or all of their money.

And again, compared to NY, CT, NJ, CA etc... our homes in SE Florida (or all of Florida) ... are way less for the amount of space a person can get.

Hi All,I'm looking for a local NJ bank or credit union that will permit the seller to finance a portion or all of the downpayment on a commercial mortgage.

CcRoi=12.1%My partner is providing most or all of the capital needed to acquire.

@Jeff Young Even if it does turn out to be ACM (asbestos containing material) I'm guessing that it is in wall cavities or an unfinished attic, both places that tenants don't need to be.

Or all of the above?
