No contracts (other than to make sure you get paid), earnest money, looking for deals, scurrying to find a buyer to meet your closing deadline and everything else that goes into wholesaling a property. 

When I'm on a tight budget (Always) I find a higher success rate from "Driving for Dollars" where I literally drive around a target area and pick out homes that look neglected or in need of some attention.  

Up until the wedding, money had been extremely tight.

Check  if the HOA renting rules are not too tight.

Have a realistic deadline that all can adhere to.

If you're tight net income, then STOP operating in the traditional manner.

If you are renting out both sides for 3000/month these are some tight numbers.

Try him out or sit tight.  

The only issue is that money will be tight since we are only putting 10% down on our new home and the payment will be high.  

I went forward with that approach.Practically, our market is VERY tight for rentals right now, so there's always demand right now for every unit.
