It was last sold in 2016 for more than half of what they're asking today.

When working with lead I used proper equipment, HEPA filters with a properly fitted half-face mask, and used excellent hygiene (washing/showering, not eating, not smoking, careful handling and so on) and still became lead poisoned. 

Then someday I can move on and rent out the other half!

The estimate is for $21K.So, $45K in with seller paying half of closing costs, so an estimated $700 paid by me for closing.I got a refi estimate. 

I covered half the state of michigan for bank of america.

Some of these properties had rents even below half the market prices!!

The issue is I'm self employed and everything is written off, my credit ranges from 750-790 depending on the credit card miles game.

Also the houses I’m looking at are less than 100 miles away.

Mainly, you cannot use rental income from your vacating property unless you are more than 100 miles from it.
