Sorry to be a wet blanket, but if there are drug dealers there, it's a good bet that they're gang affiliates.That's a conflict that's most likely not worth having - especially considering the risk to reward ratio.No deal is worth getting killed over.

If you really believe they will purchase the property.....a long shot at best I'm betting, then have a real estate attorney draw up a lease/purchase agreement stipulating things in writing up front.

The people who buy multis know how to evaluate, negotiate, and put under contract, so you'd have to be very very good to get a deal for them with margin in it for you.... probably not the best thing to bet on without more experience.Oh, and that deal I lost money on?  

Adwords would be a better bet, since the market identifies themselves by the search intent of the query.

(All bets are off during this supply chain issue and massive inflation situation.).

[ $995 * 12 / 5.059322% = $236k ] I bet when you posted the $995, it actually had some pennies on the end, like $995.13, and the interest rate is a rounder number like 5.06% & not 5.059322...%.Need to see the actual mortgage statement to really do any more number crunching.

Check out https://www.rentrecoveryservice.com/ or a similar service as that is probably your best bet if you are reporting just one delinquent account.  

Your best bet would probably be house hacking as you can try for down payment assistance and use an FHA loan to put only 3.5% down to get into a place and then live in it and rent it out if you get a duplex, triplex, fourplex, or rent out the other rooms of an SFR.

I think SF condos are a good bet for the long term, especially if you're living there..

The Note can be secured with a Mortgage (or Trust Deed) on the property.I suggest talking to a title insurance company or real estate settlement attorney to help walk you thru the paperwork.If you have a situation different than I've described, all bets are off.
