Traditional MLS How did you finance this deal?

They develop, they build, they finance, they property manage, they will have HAO, cleaning crew etc. etc. etc. so the subsidiary companies make money every step of the way.From investor perspective: The investor pay $15 K to reserve the right to purchase 25 multiplex over the year of next 5 years. 5 each year.

Most aren't financing, their flipping , so no inspections are generally needed.

AE zoning may possibly reduce your buyer pool, but if comps show strong demand and the house stayed dry and didn't flood during Hurricane Milton, that’s a good sign.

It is 10000% possible.

I have not done it myself, but have helped some people with financing.

try to get the owner to finance it.. 

I was looking for some advice (viable target areas in Cleveland or Ohio in general, financing options and credible PM/realtor contacts) from the experts here though especially if you are in a similar boat as mine (reside in Canada/Ontario area and invest in US). 

I realizing the duplex conversion strategy is more complex I probably wouldn't try it on my first property, just want to get a sense of what's possible in the Chattanooga market :) Thanks!
