With that said our deal was: we would buy the property increase value (we have been able to increase rents and the commercial space wasn't rented at the time, we are about to rent that out) and then refinance, the thought was we could get the initial cash out after increasing the value of the property and repeat (sound familiar) - after which we would be 50/50 partners on the property.To my question - since this is a commercial property, would it make sense and is there value in converting this to a condo, where we could get more favorable terms on the residential units (30-year mortgages and 20% DP) versus the terms we have right now?

Hello BP,We recently acquired a condo in  Falls Church,VA area through court house for flipping.The owner/occupant was a old lady did not move out after we purchase the unit.While we are in legal process to get possession, i received a call from the HOA today that the neighbors of this unit observed a foul smell and called the police to see what is going on.we are breaking the lock as soon police arrive and get into the property.The smell could be from the leftover food or could be anything.To prepare for a worst case, i am trying to understand how to deal with the situation and get some affordable master cleaner referrals.Thank you,Vinod.

Hi all,I recently purchased a duplex in Dover, NH that I'll be rehabbing and am looking a reputable contractor to help me with the work.

We're just closing our first multi family unit deal with 6 duplexes, scary but exciting at the same time.

I currently own a condo in South Boston for which the mortgage is my only source of debt.

My husband and I closed on a condo 1 week ago using the VA home loan. 

I bought a Condo on 2016 which is  now worth about 600k( Zillow estimate) and I have a principle balance of 316k.

I would like to either buy single family or duplexes in the south hills area.
