Sell & Buy a Duplex if your primary residence has significant appreciation, selling could free up a large down payment for a duplex.

If you need any help with the financing or have any further questions, feel free to reach out.

If you're lucky enough to get a free and clear property where the seller is willing to finance, this reduces much of the risk associated with seller-finance.I would make sure the title is then moved over to your name, especially since there is not a risk of a due-on-sale clause being triggered.

I use Rent Redi and it is good.I also use Excel, Zelle and Zillow which are all free or I already have them.

That home was in Milpitas CA.. probably worth about 1 mil today.. but I lived there 2 years sold it made over 50k and I was off to the races.. primary home equity as I look back 50 years of ownership and multiple homes has made me well over 2.5 million in tax free gains. 

You sound like a free-spirit and sounds like you want to travel and be unburdened....I like the RV idea, as well as the settling in Nashville eventually...

I was once told jokingly that we bet on the jockey, not the horse.Next comes the property.

@Kelly Taylor who doesn’t like tax free atm withdrawals?  

Here’s the context:The house appears vacant, with a large tree that has fallen on the property.From what I can see, the house seems full of furniture and might even be a hoarder home.I’ve skip-traced the property and found that the owner has unfortunately passed away.The house seems to be mortgage-free, and I’ve identified three phone numbers associated with the son, who I believe is the heir.I’d like to reach out to the son to express my interest in purchasing the property, but I want to ensure I do so respectfully while also gathering the right information.Here are my questions:What’s the best way to approach the heir while showing my condolences for their loss?
