The idea just came to me in an effort to reduce our personal cost of living footprint.My thought was that we could split our 4 bedroom 3 bath, 2,400 sq. ft. home into 2 almost equal size family living spaces.We would fill in a 3/4 wall and add a deadbolt lock door to separate the two spaces, leaving the first half with the 3 secondary bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with the kitchen, family room, and laundry, with a garage door entrance. 

I have made repeated attempts to notify everyone to be sure and lock up.

My husband and I are looking at an investment property that comes with a tenant locked into a lease until March 2019.

Shall I have someone poised to change the locks?

If he bites, let him know he will have to sign a vacate agreement to be out as of X date, and the locks will be changed.

This market is hot so I need to "lock up" the deal, if it still works.

Anyone know of a creative way to lock up  the deal put pay the seller in such a manner that her tax burden is reduced? 

In other words, we’ll need to lock in a rental before we close on our primary home but we’re relatively income poor, especially when most LL’s want 3x monthly rent for income, while at the same time we’re relatively asset rich with very low overhead.

I have dealt with this guy before on a property he charged me 300 dollars to change locks.

., with min loan amt of 50K at 12% for a renovation (Fix/Flip) package...then following the BRRR (not sure how long their seasoning period is...but I'll ask) we can do a refi at their 6.1 conventional rate.Conventional loan: McGloan, 30 yr fixed rate, 4.8% (not bad)Im concerned with interest rates going up that perhaps we should lock in that low 4.8% rate (conventional loan), and pay out of pocket for the renovations ourselves?
