@Jimmy Warr, depends on your balance sheet,credit worthiness,relationship with your banking contacts,ect.

I learned that Real Estate is a Relationship business.Consider other avenues, for example Subject 2 and Lease options.

Our success has been in finding the right alignment of goals and values in the relationship.  

not an easy situation , i would just have a talk that you feel bad , you allowed him time to mourn , but you can't really do this . you will help him try and find a smaller 1 bedroom , or studio and will be happy to work with him . tell him you and him have a great relationship and you don't want it to sour because of this . i think once a person falls behind , 90% will continue the downward spiral .

Start talking to multifamily brokers in your area to see what types of deals are out there and try to start developing a relationship with a bank, possibly a local community bank that is growing their portfolio.  

But it is most definitely a buyer beware situation, both with regard to you practicing law pro se (and many lawyers won't even represent themselves under the maxim "the lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client"), and to your relationship with your lawyer.  

Since the house was built in 1935 it had to go through historical preservation review.

On our last deal, we had a relationship with the bank and they required only 15% down, because of the price we are acquiring it.Gino

Even if it takes us 6 months to sell and we have some light rehab work to do, the projected profit is still good enough to move forward.My partner is a key part of the deal because he has the relationship with the seller and can get us the favorable financing terms.

Also I am looking forward to developing professional relationships with many of you to promote mutual success!
