I don't see you being able to increase rent by  airbnb in an HOA even if it is suitable location so your option is to raise rent at renewal. 

I had an offer accepted via email for a 185k duplex that I told him subject to me being able to attain suitable financing.

It is known for its large-scale manufacturing units and offers a wide range of warehouses suitable for various businesses.c.

Those adjustable steel columns are usually less than $100 each and may be a suitable substitute until you can get an engineer approved permanent repair completed. 

Would the planning department even know or care if I put up an interior wall with no electrical/plumbing straight down the middle of a house (assuming the floor plan was suitable)?

From there I can determine a value suitable for my interests.I have questions about the sheriff's sale process, but I will respect this post and save them for another time.Thank you all for creating this communal opportunity.  

I was hoping to purchase a multi family before we got up to our next duty station.Backstory, I am married with a child and another on the way so most multi-families (my preferred BRRR property type) isn't suitable for a family of 4.

The tenant base is more suitable for a place that you live in, IMO.

If it's suitable, lay out a plan of attack. 

@David Gorman make the offer "subject to the sellers finding suitable housing by X date."
