@Matt McCurdy - by the way, FB marketplace posting was F-R-E-E.  

I have a meeting set for next week with an RE attorney but want to have an idea about my financing options both short term and long term.

If none of those solutions will work, and they are MTM, you can give them notice and terminate their tenancy, repair the stairs and re-rent out the unit. 

I know this has been discussed in other posts but they seem to be full of opinions and not many people that have actually partnered.

Getting your RE license would absolutely give you a leg up in this industry. 

Happy to discuss private finance.

Additionally, you may need to have discussions with your JV partner to come to a mutually agreeable solution for the long-term ownership of the property.

Use a RE attorney for the closing - they will ensure that all of the right forms are handled properly.I have always used an attorney, even when we have had a realtor and it has saved me money on multiple occasions.

That's awesome to hear that your expanding your RE investment portfolio.

Individuals are motivated by those who put in the effort and openly discuss their personal journeys.Now, here's another fact: real estate investment success is achievable for anyone.
