But you need to find some sort of solution because this may come up again.

I sort of inherited it, it was my mother in law's home.

The worst scenario is if the seller or escrow really requires me to use my own cash, I will use my HELOC and cash to buy it.

Well I can, but I won't be rude on here.....But if you're feeling lucky, go for it, what's the worst that could happen? 

If things get out of sorts, the lease agreement is what holds true. 

People are also cashing out all the appreciation they've accumulated  I should have known that I do a ton of bizz in KC and suburbs.. mainly helping BRRR folks or flippers with their capital needs for their projects.. and I sure like the new airport.. the old one had to be one of the absolute worst in the US for those of us who fly a lot... :)  

I attend multiple meetups from Santa Barbara to Thousand Oaks and meet with folks doing all sorts of strategies - House Hack, STR, LTR, Infill Development, Flips etc. 

This can be very expensive and is usually the worst choice because you can't justify the cost.2.

Once you have the money for the deal sorted then you can start underwriting properties and submitting offers.

I find that in it'self illiminates some of the worst one's right off the bat.
