@Jason Etheridge@Wayne Brooks nailed it: no need to complicate anything for tax purposes.

I would not have a two month fee to release one person, that is too complicated  and can backfire.

@Elliott FisherBasically, you need to find the cash or a new loan really fast if the lender calls the loan.You do realize its more complicated than this, right? 

I'm still saying probably because there could be other complications we have not uncovered. 

I could easy find three right now who will do the same thing for me (in fact this isn't the only lender I've used that has done this for me).Point is, shop around and you won't have to worry about paying for all these unnecessary fees. 

That's a complicated way of saying you'll pay no or very little taxes on the sale.Flipping your inherited home will give you seed capital to pursue your real estate ambitions.Anyway, back to househacking a duplex...

Trying to get someone who just moved to give you $800 to hang onto for a week or so just complicates things.

If you didn't live there the answer would be a lot easier (sell) but since you have to live somewhere it gets more complicated as you noticed.As far as buying an investment property now vs. waiting, I have a couple of thoughts.

They are totally unnecessary. 

someone told me it would be a good idea to get, so i figured i would look into it more, the whole getting started sounded complicated and cost a good amount of money so i didn’t know if it would be worth it or not.
