@Shaylynn O'LearyI like creativity in your own market compared to chasing cash flow across the country.  

Sometimes people are REALLY creative about it, and I respect that, lol.

Creative financing: Explore seller financing or subject-to deals for your next property, which often require less upfront cash and bypass traditional lending limits.You’re on the right track thinking long-term—house hacking and leveraging your duplex are great moves.

Quote from @Caleb Brown:  You could see about being creative and doing a seller financed deal but again with no liquid cash you wouldn't have a DPThanks Caleb, I inquired about a seller finance deal but she isn't interested and just wants out completely.I appreciate the input

Demand for February/March move-ins should see a notable uptick sometime in January, but you'll for sure see your strongest rental demand in late spring/summer.Your most recent post mentioned that you were going to look for someone for a 6-month lease - I think this is a great way to approach it to minimize vacancy loss while biding your time until we get into the higher demand summer months.Getting creative with your lease term and credits/concessions could also be a good way to solve a few potential problems in one shot.
