If it is, it's super easy to show so it's not as much hassle for the buying or selling agent. 

This deal came along and I have an opportunity to cash flow $3k a month When converted to a fourplex and it has a non attached garage that I could turn into an ADU which would add to the cash flow.im just hoping to get out of the hard money loan and lower my payments and rate if possible so my rents can cover mortgage.I have an air bnb rental that I have a very nice chunk of equity in but won’t be able to sell it til spring.

Rent To Retirement sells new construction houses in growth markets, so your comments don't really apply here.

So, is it possible to get an outright loan for say 100,000 and use that to buy, flip and sell a house for a profit?

Because EVERYONE wants to sell their house fast.People who list on the MLS want to sell their house fast, people that want to sell their house FSBO, want to sell their house fast.

Seems to me my options are...SELL - If I were to put it on the market I think I could reasonably get $2.8M - $3M, but at a 2.9M sale price my return on my initial investment is only 38%, or 7.6% a year over the 5 years.

If you paid $950k and only get $1M after selling costs, don’t bother with the 1031.

Many investors buy properties Subject-to, and some even sell them Subject-to.

Or sell using the 1031 exchange along with a partial 121 primary residence exemption There is a way you could take advantage of the 121 primary residence exclusion allowing you to take the first $250k of the gain tax free ($500k if married) and qualify for a 1031 exchange.Say you purchase a property as your primary residence (house hack extra rooms for extra income) and lived there for two years while stationed there.

It should have been 2-3 months and I was in it for 7 months renovation and then took almost 4 months to sell.
