Your best bet on a small mortgage is probably a HELOC, but they will want to see that you've owned it for a year.

AITD protects the seller a little better versus a subject to.

(I haven't looked but I'll bet other states have similar procedures.)

An HML is not going to subordinate their position, I'd bet on that.I doubt I do this deal, but, your money in a partnership is protected in the by laws or operating agreement in partnership agreements, filing a deed of trust or mtg isn't necessary unless you want to be a lender.

I want to give it about a year before I renovate the space fully and add in the option for open spaces and dedicated desk space, versus only suites which is the only option for renters right now.

Your best bet might be an HML against your second home, which I assume is rented, if the cash flow is adequate.www.thenorrisgroup.com offers a 9.9% rental refinance over five years that might be helpful for you.

Your bet would be on the appreciation (as you invest in stocks).

You have to calculate how much you are losing over time versus the selling gap.

If I was you I would try and find a duplex or 4plex.Yes the MLS is your best bet.

If you find other instances, I bet you can get the D.A. interested.
