@Stephen PattonStarting in real estate can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down step by step is key.

I suspect the person who originally turned it into a fiveplex only applied for permits to make a fourplex and then did the 5th unit fly by night (perhaps at a later date) in order so the property would still be considered residential and allow for better financing possibilities.

Wholesaling is another way to generate cash by finding off-market deals and selling them to investors.

Landlord and Tenant agree that any action or proceeding in which Landlord is seeking possession of the Premises from Tenant, a trial shall be heard by a court sitting without a jury.

But it is very much applicable to single family rental and residential units simply by getting bridge financing and a post transfer cash out refi.

Even if we have no income there any longer, we have to file so they know we have not sold our new 1031 properties, as required by the state. 

Quote from @Danielle Levy: Agreed with everyone on this thread, this does not warrant a lawsuit due to those things that could have been controlled by you as the homeowner.

What do woman by non investor networking ?

Just cause the market is "red-hot" as you've said, doesn't mean people will over pay by 33%. 

Pick one that is improving, homes being renovated and flipped, vacant storefronts being turned into cool coffee shops etc.Good luck.
