The old "golden rule" should apply to this situation and if you had just moved into this house and this was the first "welcoming event" consider how you would feel.

I think you are lucky to have such golden opportunities right in your own backyard. 

It's like selling the hen which lay golden egg. 

But, they are the ones with the money and you know the golden rule "he who has the money makes the rules".Find a mortgage broker.

If you have other liquid assets like stocks, IRA’s, Insurance ect then it’s a golden opportunity IMO assuming you have underwritten the deal, the area, and believe it will stay at least where it’s at or appreciate and you can rent it easily.

I don't think there's anything immoral or shady about it, so if that's a concern just remember the Golden Rule and treat everyone as you would like to be treated.

This may be a golden egg laying goose or it could be a money pit.

Best to look outside of the Golden Horseshoe.  

I would prefer to run up my credit cards.My master plan is doing the bare minimum and doing a deep scrub, paint, flooring and putting renters in there to generate positive cash flow.With the golden goose laying eggs, I will slowly improve the property.Marion, for Hard Money, look up the Norris Group found under "Resources" in the header.
