I have an opportunity to buy a property subto.

Entitlements are buying time.  

If you are buying land, watch the environmental.

Politicians will continue to pander to tenants and assault landlord rights until landlords organize and spend money to push landlord agendas.

So I started trying to get creative on how to create a win-win-win for all.Here’s how it went down:I got the sellers to agree to an asking price of $180k, a full $40k over what they originally wanted.In the offer, we included a seller credit of $34k.This strategy allowed me to cover the extra commission for both the buying and selling agents and ensure the seller got exactly the cash they wanted should they have sold it at 140k.With the seller credit, this reduced my total out-of-pocket expense to just $6k.I used a commercial DSCR loan product with a local bank.

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.

Then we want to buy another duplex with the same price and a 5% down payment under my mom's name since she will be living in 1 unit and rent the other unit out.

Ask a lender to review your finances to confirm can buy the rental and then house hack again. 2.
