I think you're going to have a very hard time finding any bank willing to do a purchase loan based off the appraisal value.Not unless you have a ton of money in the bank.I have a friend that is buying some condo units cash and his local bank told him they would refi them up to 80% LTV with NO seasoning.Now he also has over 500k in the bank too so its pretty easy for them to have a comfort level.You're best bet to tie up as little money as possible isto buy with hard money and then refi rate and term after 6 months.

We closed on a duplex. 1 unit is 4 bedrooms 2 full bath.

Most housing leases allow 2 per bedroom plus one additional person - maybe to sleep on the sofa?

Im concerned that once the repairs are done the tenants will use it as a bedroom, which is unsafe.Should this space be left as-is?

I have never been a real favorite of the two-bedroom home nor have I been a fan of a single bathroom.

I helped a lot of clients buy $50k condos.

My county went from having separate listings for SFH, TH, and condos to combining all three 6 months ago.

The next step is into a condo/PUD/home etc.

She moved to Vegas got a $10 per hour job at the casino Sec 8 pays for her 4 bedroom house she rents in a gated community, swimming pool, workout room, sunken living room and gas fireplace.
