You would have to a apply for and close the loan in your name, agreeing to be personally liable for the debt service.

Sloping terrain towards the bay should allow us to build up, views from the 2nd and possibly 3rd floor would be ideal. 

@Samantha McCormick welcome to BP and thank you for your service!

I purchased a duplex in July and one side has laundry hookups however the dryer has been previously venting under the floor into the crawlspace and obviously I don't want that.

With 200k down the debt servicing would be $3,877 monthly.List price is 800k.  

My biggest STR has a Jacuzzi on the 3rd floor. 

Your name, license number,brokerage (if any) and license status is publicly available.The NAR,State Board,and local boards have agreements with suppliers to give your contact information away to them so they can advertise their services to you.Be prepared for an avalanche of emails and snail mail in the next few weeks.

Wall may be structural, so GC will reinforce appropriately.Also found a lead pipe in floor of 5.

I suggest that new be syndicators find someone that is successfully doing it and find a way to be of service to them.  

Save half the commission when you sell by using Realmart or a similar online MLS listing service, for a flat fee of a few hundred dollars they put you on the MLS and then realtors will bring buyers to you without you having to pay a listing agent of your own.
