I then want to try the BRRR and stacking method to get into a duplex six months later.I'm open to all and any advice!

I like this method because the closing costs on a HELOC are zero or close to zero, so your not adding much debt by way of closing costs. 

The BRRRR method is a great strategy, but I have a concern. 

I then created a transactional product for him to legally take title then he put them on his website.. it worked great for a few years.. until we fell out of favor he went right back to his same method since he did not have me to fund his transactional.. side got caught again and this time it was very serious.. 

I like this method instead of CoStar and others.

I wouldn't want to go into the deal with the wrong method of closing.

I am doing this as a commercial deal and the bank never mentioned this method.

If the method of payment for this transaction is cash, assumption or conditional sales contract, the closing fee shall be paid by ___ BUYER ___ SELLER ___ shared equally."

Just choose an allocation method and stick with it (# of bedrooms, # of bathrooms, # of tenants or unit sq ft).
