The process of bidding was simple but the closing process was about as clear as mud (and I'm a Realtor!) 

The only other thing I can think of is doing a cash out refi on your properties that are free & clear and pay cash for the new one.

I theoretically (stuff happens) should be clear of the interest on the credit cards and be able to turn a profit?

Once I did that, it became clear my bachelor pad was never going to cash flow, and I was better selling it, taking the proceeds, and buying something that will cash flow.Also compare your goals to your area -- I live in Philadelphia where unless you get properties at a discount, or off-market, you are buying at a premium, and are banking on major appreciations in the regional real estate market (which in Philly, can happen on a block-to-block basis) which are not a given.

I do plan to move into it, which was why I wanted to ask, because, clearly, if I’m going to live in it, a residential loan is the superior option, and I wanted to make sure it would be an option.

If you are not getting rid of th ecause of the flees or th etennats I would make it very clear that I would treat but they will pay.

Maybe the approach is to have it inspected so you can clear it up and also have them inspect.

Now that’s make it totally clear.  

Your question and subject line are not clear.

It’s set to be a gorgeous modern stadium with a clear glass roof, fantastic pedestrian areas, and sliding glass walls.
