Consider building a team of people to guide you for each step (local lender, local realtor, attorney and GC).

Great way to grow quick and leverage an unfair advantage taking over our state.

The lender will also need a justifiable reason that you're changing primary homes so quickly. 

It seems to me like you may already have a guide for the path you must follow, your father.

One unit was vacant and I was able to fill it fairly quickly.

I think it's important to note that the average sale for a SFH is north of 4.5M, so at a sub 4M price point we are bringing a level of "affordability" to the neighborhood so we believe it will sell quickly.

A quick rule of thumb for determining if a deal is good is to apply the 1% rule.

Took a quick look, they let you buy shares in rental properties.

My quick research indicates that while there is legal precedent (albeit from 2000) that this would be technically treated as a sale, only the principal and interest paid via seller financing amortization schedule would be taxable.

Quick question, is your home private pay?
