Anybody able to shed some light on this or recommend some lenders in the area that would?

@Alexandra Hansil you may want to tread lightly here, I'd consult an attorney for crafting you letter as the rules around COVID-19 evictions and notices are ever changing, also consider your relationship with the tenant perhaps you can find out more with a conversation.

@Timothy VintHey Tim,I would highly recommend doing a ‘light live in flip.’

I've lived in several houses and purchased at good prices only to sell 2-3 years later after very minimal upgrades and natural appreciation.

You will need to have a title company on stand-by to run light title to catch any liens not disclosed by the sheriff's auction and you need an investor-friendly RE agent who can run comps on the properties going up for auction.

It is one of the key elements of adverse possession (open and notorious in nature).

Everyone wants to spend less than a repair is worth,but make waves and your costs will naturally go up on future repairs.  

And Brian, the issues with holding RE in a tax advantage account is that you lose out on some of the pass through nature of the tax savings, mainly deprecation.

For vanities, lighting, and higher-end accents I use All Modern, which is now owned by Wayfair.

When I consider BRRRR, although I am not particularly skilled in handicrafts, I naturally understand the potential of forced appreciation through Renovation.
