It was originally a home, that was converted into a triplex.

Is there any way to find the reasons for the original debt?

I was originally ok with both renting it selling and now I feel like this could be a either a fantastic middle ground, or a hole I know nothing about and could fall into.I am DEFINITELY willing to look I to podcasts and books as well if you have any ideas of where to go :)

As a Loan officer, i have relationships with various other banks and have identified my chosen institution that will allow me to put down 15% of the original purchase price and no more, so long as the "Arv appraisal has a loan to value of 85% still.

I scrape my data directly from the county GIS server though, and it's basically the same data, although I have to figure out who's an absentee myself by comparing addresses (and the conventions like St vs Street aren't always consistent so it's harder than it sounds).You can probably just go to your local assessor's office and see if they can get you a spreadsheet.
