I toured a duplex that is a new build and the developer said that he had to sell the units together, that it was required.

After long considerations, a dozen spreadsheets, and touring it a handful more times, I decided I would buy it if the price was right.

As far as I can tell we have a few options for the initial purchase:- conventional mortgage - cash (cash, HELOC, 401k (definitely don’t want to touch this, and/or other investments)- HM/PM (could possibly work with some experienced partners to open up this line)- seller financingEstimated numbers: ARV = ~$310kRehab: TBD, is a 1335 sq ft home, in a prime neighborhood, been vacant but exterior looks solid (once we tour the property with our GC, this will help us put hard numbers to the rehab) Target Purchase: ~$110k and would be willing to go to $150k, such that we could at a minimum have ~$65k in rehab costs built in and still be under 70%ARV for the cash-out Refi.

I believe that New York is ahead of Chicago on housing trends and I'd like to visit and actually tour similar properties in NYC to get ideas for how to market my property (small square footage, making the most of the space, creative ideas for maximizing usability, etc.).

I made sure they toured the room before they came and they liked it enough to sign the line.I'm changing my screening  criteria after this tho.

Is there an easy way to allow prospectives to tour the property or see it (other than relying on photos)?

Since the risk is higher than in the US (with the exception of European countries), US investors will probably not invest unless the return is significantly higher than what they could get at home.

Later, the landlord grants the reservation to a tenant who is white, of European descent.

A professional pm toured my property in march and told me if I ever did a traditional rental the main house would be about $3k per month.
