They say that they have that worked out now but I'm going to look at it again to see if they have some repairs half done.

My advice would be to do this then buy a duplex live in half rent half and you will be able to finance your deals and not have to move every year 

I was looking to buy an investment property for the last year and half and can tell you it was very difficult to find a ready to rent property in ok neighborhood with 1% and up rent/price ratio.

So, for approximately one and a half years, the property has been vacant.I tracked down the previous (or current?)

Now for $60k I am buying into half of all rents and equity position.  

They signed a one year lease and are moving at the end of this month, breaking the lease nine and a half months early. 

I cut the standard 10% that I’ve observed on BP in half due to that fact.

He is currently a level III Maintenance Technician at a large property management company and I was an Office Mgr. for a construction company for 4 and a half years (I currently own a fine art photography prints business.) 

hi allsend out letters mon got a call today motivated seller problem  2yrs behind on payments had a balance of 76k has an arv of 110k have not seen house on the inside seller says they updated bout 5 yrs back but only bathrooms and carpeting has a pool with half water in it owner says nothing wrong with itI told seller to talk to bank about a shortsale as they just want headache gone but not willing to do l/o or seller finance any suggestion on how to get it under contractwho talks to bank about shortsale seller or buyertks in advance

For me though, I'd rather sit on it and cash-flow vs. taking the short term profit and giving uncle sam half in the process.
