@Jeff Berry the first thing they need to do in my opinion is quit referring to it as an "unachievable goal"

Quote from @Sally Berry: Hi all - I have 3 MTRS that I own and I am subletting my first to rent as a MTR.

@Matthew Berry  The CRITICAL question not answered is, "what does the other property owner want to do" First order of business is for your friend to talk to him.

Berry,  Thanks for that bit of information....  

@Luke Berry, if you do not have funds for repairs, I would not suggest purchasing a home that needs them - at least not significant repairs.I think the best suggestion is the 2- 3- or 4-plex house hack idea that @Charles Moore suggested.

@Matthew Berry what part of area are you looking?

@Candace Berry - I just looked up the address in MLS, and that is GORGEOUS!

On a side note, isn't Hammonton the blue berry capital of the world?
