Things started getting harder and more complicated the more I asked to be included in the decision making process/day to day operations of the duplex project.

If they move back, this special break is destroyed (details are complicated and involve the non-qualified use concept).Step 7.

@Daniel WhitmoreSelf employed status will be a complication with a bank lender - they will at least need 2 years of freelance tax returns, FT job income is best for getting solid approvals. $70k is 20% of $380k, which means we'd be looking in areas where we would find SFH in that range.

Having the seller be on the hook for future rents seems more complicated than it needs to be.

Or, if nobody pay him off for whatever reason, and he is not stopped from foreclosing judicially, he has ownership of a property probably worth many times the amount of his lien.

One of the complications I run into with sales data is often there are transactions that are disqualified sales, or not arms-length transactions, or transfers that otherwise don't make sense.
