4: I'm pretty confident the house is vacant, according to my research the owners both live and work in the same town in a different part of the state.

Live in one and STR the other.

I researched this segment to discover what types of properties they preferred and where they lived.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

The property’s potential for strong appreciation, combined with its appeal to high-quality tenants seeking modern living in a historic setting, made it an excellent addition to my portfolio.

Once we've gone through that, we'll start looking at live deals and borrower packages.

Once updated, the building will provide modernized living spaces and support a significant rent increase, enhancing cash flow and property value.

I live away from DFW and one day want to settle in that neighbourhood.i did some research - so far no luck in terms of Lennar and DR horton dont sell their homes for investors.  

I have worked as a commercial project manager, have done live in flips, and have built my own house but I have no record as a builder.
