Sounds like you stopped water which is most important.

Appreciate the advice.

I would like to know more about ways to use OPM  The only way to determine if the home is going to cost you a lot down the road is by determining the age of the mechanical systems & if the structure of the home is sound. 

I'm hoping I could get some advice from this community on how to source off-market deals, as well as a pulse check on what I've been doing so far.

Sounds like a scam to me.

Overall, it sounds to me like you want to help the poor.

Any advice for someone trying to buy their first duplex and house hack? 

Nathan, it sounds like you're seeing some of the same type of activity in the last week we have had down here too.

McElhannon, you've gotten some good advice.

@Ryan G.This sounds like a great off-market opportunity!
