One housing authority wouldn’t even entertain the request, while another was open to it because it was an affordable housing property, requiring just an application for the exemption.From my experience, dealing with government agencies, especially when trying to save money or get financial benefits, can be a slow process.

This started my thought process that maybe I should sell. 

Most likely the new lender is going throught the foreclosure process and typically will end up taking the property back.The original posters chances of getting this property back now is slim to none as it will be sold at market value.  

It can be discouraging for newcomers.Solution: Develop resilience and learn to view rejection as part of the process.

Is it worth it to go through the proper process with the city and run the risk of a huge expense to make this a 3rd unit? 

At the time, I was not going to say yes to that and I began the eviction process.

You'll definitely need more time to get things processed.

My son is working on his first SubTo real estate deal in Crawfordville, Florida, and I'm hoping to find someone in this community who can offer him some guidance and support.He's eager to learn and navigate this process successfully, but could really benefit from the expertise of someone with experience in SubTo transactions.

Hopefully they moved on to a juice processing plant for culls.  

Would you recommend their realtor team for the buying process or should I look elsewhere?
