My question to those willing to answer is how should I approach pursuing this deal without the cash to purchase it myself?

The tenant isn't borrowing money from you by paying on the 7th of the month, nor are you not enforcing your lease since you're issuing a pay or quit notice.I'm positing a different approach, one that comes with a letter, text, or e-mail, whatever your preference may be, to soften the blow of that notice.

As it’s my first deal, I am approaching it with an open mind as to what I do at the end of the remodel; sell the updated property or rent it.

It's designed for those who buy and hold investment property as a way to sell and then buy replacement investment property.

Trying to figure out least costly approach in resolving this.

For simple stuff like Podio design and skiptracing, I've used upwork.com.
