You want to find a lender to give you the equity as cash for a down payment on a second property.If you buy the townhome from your aunt, you can't sell or borrow against her "interest in the deeds", but she will likely be bombarded by mail from people wanting to cash her out of that note, at a discount from the face value.Can you clarify if you meant your equity or her equity?

Super cheap and that way your house isn't bombarded with returned mailers. 

The reality is that you really don't know if people are like minded.I tend hardly to go to Network events because I am bombarded by people who have hurt themselves in the past and cannot offer anything to me.

A major headache i could foresee would be to come home from a somewhat stressful day at work and then be bombarded by tenant issues.
