I'm trying to figure out a strategy on buying real estate from the seller (who owns the property outright) on payments, adding value and reselling it for profit and thus, paying off the original seller.

If so, and if your HOA allows, you could market this as a mid-term furnished rental and charge a premium for rent.

You may need to focus on long-term wealth building instead of short-term cash flow. 

long term appreciation and value add potential How did you finance this deal?

But I'll stay in my box.Notes: * - My investing: generational (long-term 20+yr) rental holds, "starter home", 1978+, SI (Stability Index) > 90, CI (Confidence Index) > 90

If your current hard money lender won't lend more than 50% of the original purchase price, it means they don't see the value in the property either now or in the future.

@Jay Hines I'm not sure that's how people would refer to wholesaling in terms of an investment strategy. 

However, the original ruling allowed federal regulators to function efficiently, which they cannot if every interpretative gray area in the law requires a court decision.

Please correct me if im wrong.That said it seems the airbnb short term rental business is doing okay (some cash flow?).
