I added a couple of different offerings with them earlier this year as well. 

Some lenders offer creative solutions, like a cross-collateralized loan, where they use your existing equity as security without refinancing the duplex.Another idea is partnering with private lenders or exploring a second-position mortgage, depending on your lender's terms.

But it certainly seems like you're right that BP offers much more in general

They may be offered at a cheaper price point relative to the coasts but that doesn't mean that those neighborhoods haven't seen population growth and appreciation.

This is the only thing holding me back from making an offer on this really good deal.

I have recently worked with a company that has an excellent offer.

I used to cold call sellers from across the countries, and offered to buy their homes for cash.

*Another Exciting Development in Charlotte*The Iron District is set to break ground next year (address 905 w morehead st.)The Iron District's strategic location offers easy connections to Uptown, South End, Wesley Heights, Freedom Drive, Camp Greene, I-77, I-277, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

I've been surprised at properties that have passed conventional financing though...and even FHA....also, one could present 2 offers to seller--one for a cash offer and one for seller financing (at a higher price of course). 

Additionally furnished to offer as a short term rental.
