It seems that renting it might have me running negative with property taxes, but it's in a great area less than a mile from downtown and a couple of blocks away from an up-and-coming revitalization area, so could be good if I can find a money partner and keep it for a while... or maybe a quick 10k assignment, or a bigger short-term light rehab and flip...

The biggest thing is to partner up with a (yes a) realtor that understands what you are looking for and will work with you.

find a life partner (wife/husband) that will be okay with this and you're half way there.

Hi I'm a newby at this stuff, so any help is appreciated.Background: Partner puts down 20% of down payment.

I'm looking for a way to buy houses very fast without using a hard money lender and without an equity partner.
