The reason I am selling the Condo is to pay off some personal, and unexpected debts of about $18,000 to decrease my DTI to help me qualify for my Dads VA loan (they want to move to Texas), which is a 3BD 2BA single family home. 

Should I be reaching out to current owners to find out if they are willing to sell their property and get more information about the property?

My other deal I did sub to and novated the property so I had no holding cost and I made money on the renovations and selling the 3% mortgage along with the house when rates were 7.5% I think my buddy felt threatened because he was like a little brother to me but I don’t want to ruin our relationship and handle this between us but I want to know if I have a legal leg to stand on or if it’s going to come to dude if you screw me.

Yes you can sell to investors with tenant in place.

I mentioned finding sellers who are not indifferent to selling, and therefore are motivated to sell.

Nothing like being able to sell the dream of dinner and a movie to your potential tenants, to help them see the need.

I was renting this home then approached the owner and asked if they'd be interested in selling.

P.s I don’t plan on selling anytime soon.

According to the UDO, we should be able to fit 10 houses on the property, and they could each sell for $1.1 million.

You can have options to stay, sell, or continue as a rental.
