umbrella 2. and under the cash umbrella are the options we talked about - your own cash, your dentist uncle's cash (private money), a local fix and flip lender's cash (hard money.)i did a BRRRR last year (that i ended up selling because it didn't appraise) and i bought it with my own cash because the purchase price was pretty low. 

Finds the deal, signs on the debt, manages it, and sells it. 

Selling will make a little money, but it’s not a ton.

I plan to flip the house but to avoid all the fees and closing cost involved with buying the house she has agreed to allow me to rehab then sell and give her our agreed upon price within 90 days of our agreement.

I'm interested in buying the property and would like to see if the owner has any interest in selling the property for a reasonable value.

Ask me if I want to sell my distresed proeprties.

I bought it for $170K and 2.5 years later its worth $185K.Is it better to keep the rental (as part of my retirement planning) as a long- term investment or should I sell, pay off all consumer debt ($67K) and put the left over cash in IRA, 401K, HYSA?

What can you sell this home for as-is and what can you sell the home for if you spend the additional $450,000?

It looks to be a true 50/50 split based on square footage, so eventually when you go to sell you will be taking 1/2 of the property and applying the federal tax exclusion under Section 121 and the other half will be treated as a capital asset subject to capital gains.

I can get $1,000/ month in rent or do I just sell for a loss and try to find a cash buyer who would live in it.
