I apologize for my misunderstanding, but if you could clear this up really quick...

For now, I am attempting to replace my tenant as quickly as possible, as per Iowa law. 

I'm currently doing a condo conversion project in Medford for a quick return.  

However, I quickly realized that no one there had done a deal. 

You will have to hire a securities attorney to work with and guide you through the legal structure as well as the legalities of the capital raise.Bottom line, it's totally possible to raise the funds, but you need to have the right structure in place and a track record to support it.

.- I swill still have some reserves for repairs; going FHA because they still allow minimum down on a duplex, where Conventional guides require 15% down.

thanks you very much for the detailed and quick response.regarding hoa control - not allowing tenants anymore, how realistic is that?

They are looking to close quickly. does anybody have any tips to increase my chances of success on purchasing this house?
