That would be my path because there's likely a solution that can be worked out. 

And, is a duplex a solution here?

As far as Distressed sellers go as soon as you get the information call and discuss their situation stating that YOU have possible SOLUTIONS to their situations .

The solution is to make the rents at least $1 different.

I know many people on this blog are diehard real estate investors and would not even consider investing in anything else...but what about different types of investments such as 529 plans, simple indexed annuities, The stock market, your employer's retirement plan, etc...would you ever invest in these things or is real estate just always the better solution and all your money should go towards that?

So, we're looking for an agent than can find the creative housing solutions that would include investors along with the traditional MLS listings.Please hit me up if you'd like to know more about this client.

Best of luck finding a payment solution that works for you!

Hi Liz,Did you ever find a solution?

My solution in the meantime is to use my husband's.That's alright!

For me wholesaling may become a solution.
