@Brian Dickerson, federal law prevents lenders from exercising the due on sale clause if you transfer the property into a trust for estate purposes, but you must remain as the beneficiary, which means that you also still have all of the liability.

Allow two RELATED people (by blood or marriage) plus one additional person. 

I am looking to retire in 4 to 6 years (with additional savings), so I don't need it to cash flow now as long as it cash flows well later.One thing I do worry about is the possible stigma associated with foundation repairs.

It means that in strong military rental markets where on base housing is not provided, a service member and their family will receive extra money's to rent/buy a home, in addition to their paychecks.

I currently have three additional properties on contract that I will be adding in the next 45 days.

My strategy is to do both so I do still have additional capital available just in case I do find a deal that I'd like to jump on. 

@Judd CampbellLooks like the additional searching may be paying off.

Thank you for the additional information and suggestions.

I already bought 4 units additionally in another town, and I want to 1031 this into another property as soon as this closes, so at this point, if any appraisal comes in at 280k+, we will take it. 5-10k is not worth the headache of dragging this on another few months, getting another inspection report, etc.Honestly, I thought about that option of "bridging the gap".

Do you want the Million dollar homes in addition to the very low end?
