Suggesting to them buying their house for a wholesale range offer or lower dependent on the extent of the rehab, then having a contract in place that gives them a percentage of the profit to help get them back on their feet, paying off debts etc.

One of the things I'm trying to figure out is if I'm better off getting a few lower cost properties or on higher priced property. 

Lower the price2.

In category after category, larger condos and higher price ranges are selling better than smaller condos and lower price ranges. 

Could be a higher rate, lower leverages, higher reserves, etc... varies by lender.Cheers!

I paid about $1500 in closing costs between title, appraisal, etc, but the original loan was wiped out in favor of a new lower rate. 

On the other hand, if you have a lower budget, let’s say $100-$150k.

I really wanted to try finding a duplex that i could immediately rent out the lower half rather then buy a SFH and have a higher mortgage overallHow did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I will be lowering the asking price and seeing if that will help in the sale of these properties.

That would mark the third rate cut in a row, a full percentage point lower since they started cutting in September.
