I have a rather unique issue. 

The duplex is on a unique property in Grand Junction, CO.

Hey all,Hope everyone is finding a way through the unique challenges of today.Currently I am in process of studying to aquire my real estate license in Tennessee.

As a newer investor looking to get your feet wet, a property like this may come with unique challenges that might turn you completely off to investing!

I have been toying with this idea for quite sometime now instead of replacing entire mortgage why not replace half of your mortgage with a HELOC and another half with a traditional mortgage that way it will be best of both the worlds given the conventional mortgages are so low.i am Interested to hear the views of experienced BP membersThanks Peter

Out of state investing has some unique challenges but they can be overcome by doing your homework.

What you need depends on your unique property, and most specifically the ceiling height. 

I understand the down sides and am not dead set on using it, but Looking for referrals because I am in a unique situation that could make FHA 203k work very well. 

@Todd Dexheimer Unfortunately I live in a unique market which generally insulates me from the type of investors you refer to.

A lot of amazing things happen when a person does enough deals and makes enough offers, but this was probably the most unique story I have remember reading this far. :-)
