-- Of course I realize that we could make much, much more $ by keeping the propert(ies) and renting them out long term to tenants (and we have other properties that are, and will be rented out the traditional way), but we have a heart for entrepreneurs and RE investors and really want to help some young person be successful who otherwise might not have that opportunity.

If you invest with your heart, B is the obvious choice.  

If not being income-producing is the problem, make it so.I'm getting creative with my 93 year old fox that has 4 duplexes in the heart of my farm neighborhood. 

Not sure how true this is but it's breaking my heart because this deal would be my first, and it's super.

Also AS @Edward B. stated completely bad Karma to kick someone out of their home that rescued it the morning before the sale I don't care if it was 5 minutes they got the dough there.watch the movie 99 homes to see the other side of this heart wrenching things owners went through.for these reasons we rarely anymore buy homes that are occupied.. if its abandoned then its a different story.think about your mother or father being booted out.. or someone you love.. then make your decision.

If you’re heart isn’t in it and it’s not the right time, be patient.

I might take the summer to flip this house, and, my heart is really in the buy and hold direction.What should I look for in the buy and holds?

I will make sure that I know the FNMA guidelines by heart before the next deal...had no idea 20% was a unicorn.

The property is located 6 blocks from the college in the heart of downtown!

You have to have the stomach and heart for it.
