I have a few lenders who do but they still require some money from the borrower so they have skin in the game.  

i understand a true duplex might be a lot more expensive, but i think it's at least worth continuing to research and keeping an eye on.and sticking to my original point, OOS can be tough. 

Assuming that's true, I would recommend looking for a replacement property (or properties - you can purchase multiple in the exchange) with value of at least $725K (selling price).  

For me, in the LTR game, it's tenants. 

They used that period of unemployment to skip paying student loans and then try to get some kind of program/hardship deferral or something aka "gaming the system".

Most of the "Sub-To" community members I've met on the journey are the most overzealous people in the game.

The truth is, they will keep playing games and milk you for every penny they can, then they will leave the house a mess and cost more with cleaning, repairs, and vacancy.

That's simply not true.

I can tell they are both on top of their game.

Looking to get into the BRRRR game and trying to estimate how much renovations will cost for an average distressed 2-3 bedroom home roughly 1200 square feet or less.
