Try to get them back to back to minimize the disruption to the current tenant and your travel time.

Hi @Rachael Greene - just based on the handful of 203k loans my clients have used, they can be tough ... your lender's experience in getting them done is going to play a huge roll in minimizing everybody's stress and frustration levels throughout the course of the transaction. 

Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Indianapolis.

Purchase price: $57,000

Found an investor that wanted to offload some properties and the numbers one this duplex...

I lock the car and keep minimal cash.

It's a birds-eye view of asset protection for investors starting out and should give you an idea of where you want to be.When you are just starting out you have the benefit of not having a lot of exposure and minimal assets to risk, but on the flip side you can make some rookie mistakes because of inexperience (and often insurance will have exemptions built in to try avoid big payouts for your personal mistakes.)

This is a great idea after downpayment and closing close my cash will be minimal  so I may try this method if all else fails. 

Go forward I'll be following the eviction process properly for NC but hope to minimalize that option by doing background checks on potential tenants to live on the property. thanks for your help! 

The cash out of pocket is minimal if the seller is willing to cover closing costs.

This is not to be interrupted as any sort of mortification or change in the terms of our lease agreement; rent will continue to be due on _____ and considered late on ______ and it will be assessed moving forward. 

My idea is to hack house into 4 private ensuites with kitchenettes(tiny homes style), minimal communal space.
