I need to determine how much someone else purchased a note for and what kind of margin they are looking for to flip it.There's a property I'm pursuing that is a little out of the ordinary - so I can't quite wrap my head around a few things.

It is located in Myers Park, adjacent to the South Park area.All my attempts to get anything larger on the MLS have been met with bidding wars and my highest and best offer was not good enough.I’d be happy to meet with you when you’re down here visiting.

I definitely understand where you're coming from, although I should note that this was actually not in the kind of neighborhood you would expect this kind of thing to happen.

Kind of like how MSRP is meaningless for many consumer goods.

I've been trying to help him figure out his next move but I don't think I've been very helpful as my knowledge of these kinds of transactions is slim.

If they are totally uncooperative, which because of possible litigation is understandable, search of l/t court for your location will show if there was action(s) against them.If the prospect is still living there, ask to do a home visit to see exactly how they live. 

That's your maximum value for money.This is the perfect sort of place to do this kind of small-scale rehab with.

What kind of written guarantees will the charity offer you?

Depends what kind of cash flow you are looking for and consider good.

I am getting pulled in all kinds of directions with really knowing if I can purchase a 4 unit as my primary residence with a FHA loan and be able to use the rental income as part of my DTI?
