Once you start "telling dad" other people seem to find all sorts of things you are doing wrong.

My buyer seems really motivated to buy...soooo...I’ll let you all know how it goes!

But a “seller’s motivation for selling” typically isn’t a part of disclosure requirements.

I'm not in a position to do this yet as I have not developed any sort of network yet but I WILL be able to one day and I simply love this idea it sounds like there is no way to lose.

Some commercial lenders may let you do this via them placing a second mortgage on the duplex, but I've not attempted this so not sure what sort of appetite there is for this kind of loan.If you're going with a commercial lender, just ask them what they can do and they'll tell you. 

My fiance and I have been motivated by certain events in our lives to get into real estate investing.

All you want to confirm is whether the deal is good and your attorney can sort that once you have a contract signed.This is a simple solution I've done it hundreds of times.

If money is the motivating factor I strongly suggest you do plenty of homework before you actually make the move.

Kudos to you for sharing the wealth on the other duplex on the market near your buy - lots of folks here looking for similar deals and your story could be just the motivation to push someone across the line. 

Melvindale is a sort of hit or miss.
