I’d be willing to bet it would cost less than a 1000 to get that place up to code .

I don't know what your market's like but, in general, 40 days on the market isn't that long.Again, not knowing exactly what's going on in your market, I would bet that there are plenty of lenders out there that will finance with less than a 49% owner occupant ratio.

Your best bet is probably small time landlords as they’ll likely be more flexible.

I would definitely say I like to take calculated risks and that would be my best bet to take a calculated risk.

That, in addition to NJ sports betting and you may be on to something in south NJ.

Best bet is to reach out the Morris Invest and get a different PM.

Luckily for me it was enough to save the deal, but he was still $45,000 under market value, which I proved with conservative comps.Your best bet, if you know how to stoke up a bidding war (and there is a very specific formula for it) is to try for multiple offers and look for one with a big enough down payment to prevent the deal from blowing up due to appraisal.

@Caleb Heimsoth $1000 referral fee may be needed for a professional but I bet most people you meet in the street or the garage or at the open house  or the guy at a construction site will be thrilled with $500.

@Dan Silverstone Your best bet might be a local community bank or credit union on their portfolio or commercial lending side.

Your best bet is to pay down the NC property using the rent and your income to create some cushion of equity.
