BP makes it sounds like everyone is hitting home-runs all day everyday.

You can still have the conversation with them and let them know that you would like to increase the rent or sell the property, but that's probably not in your best interest. pumping a bunch of money into a duplex conversion doesn't sound ideal either, but I guess if the numbers work out it could be a good fit.

I am not necessarily trying to replace my 9 to 5 simply retire earlier than 65.I am 42 years old and I would need at least a year, if not two to save up the extra money needed for a down payment. 

Most houses around here need to be demo'd and something modern put in it's place.I'm not really a fan of all the apartments that replace the old houses. 

You sound like me starting out and hope for the best man!

Not many people have great financial success on their first flip, but it sounds like yours has been successful in that you've learned some really valuable lessons that will make you better and stronger on the next one. 

@Matthew Tyson sounds like delayed financing is what you’re looking for.

I know someone who has been able to get these contracts for their personal properties, sounds like it is a slam dunk! 

However if the sale has happened and you say there are NO redemption rights then sounds like who ever bid at the sale is the owner / or it reverted to the lender or who ever owns the debt that was foreclosed.

The lender says the new partner will need to submit documents to prove they are an equal guarantor for replacement.
