If you are doing creative financing I could see some options but is that what you're talking about?  

They are there to help and to protect your interests - to ensure things are legally done and to ensure the deal closes. 

Building owners, having tenants in the building, shall post a notice in a common area of the building informing tenants that the owner of the building is required by law to supply and install carbon monoxide alarms in accordance with Section 908 of the Philadelphia Fire Code, and shall provide at least one tenant per dwelling unit or rooming unit with a copy of the manufacturer’s instructions for the alarm to ensure that tenants understand the purpose of carbon monoxide alarms, how they operate and appropriate action to take when an alarm sounds.

@Stephen Thomas , my company (Walnut Street Finance) is always looking to figure out the most flexible way to ensure project success for our borrowers.

Both were severely outdated but in a gentrifying area. his is still a pretty rough, low income propertyAny reasonable suggestions, creative ways, ideas on how to convince them to sell?

The kitchen/dining room would have a door.I would relocate a door in the garage so that if I entered through the garage, I could still go upstairs without seeing the tenants and make a wall so that tenants couldn't go upstairs.The wall to wall carpet is in great condition but i guess I could take it out and put hardwood when the carpet gets old.I'm guessing the rennovation would probably cost around $30k.My current mortgage is 2800 and I owe about $500k but I need to buy my Ex out.1000sqft homes/apartments that are 2/1 in my area rent for about $3200/monthI could rent the top floor for maybe $3700/month (property manager rents my next door neighbors entire house with similar floor plan for $4500) How can I get financing toa. creatively buy my ex out (maybe pay her out in payments with low interest?).  

So just a quick check before you get excited about writing an offer on the property to ensure income limits aren't going to kill the deal... keep in mind that rental income counts towards that limit, so really you're limited to census tracts with no income limit (again, 90% of many major metropolitan cities).Here's my little "Why 6 year old biggerpockets.com podcasts and blog articles telling you to start with FHA are, as of 2018, wrong."

I know people do some creative financing but I'm just not sure which way to go.

I have 4 properties and got started in real estate with 8k cash from a tax return, figured out the rest from there by being creative.

Hi Terrence, the best way to ensure that title is clear and make sure that the property is free of liens, mortgages and other encumbrances is to consult with an attorney.
