You could easily (and conservatively) work a deal on a $550-600k duplex to quadruplex in a decent area while keeping cash in reserve for renovations.

If you have decent credit and a steady income, then you can get a conventional loan with 3-5% down.

I hope some decent lawyer in Troy New York -where this is happening - can read this and sympathize with the situation and help me. and this neighborhood with evicting them out of here..This message is on behalf of me and my family with two kids and my entire neighborhood and street!

My credit is good, and I have decent income from my job. 

There’s still decent places to buy in WPB but don’t expect much cash flow in the short term. 

Now I have great tenants that always pay on the 1st of the month even thought out the pandemic, because I screened them aggressively.

Trying to think of ways to avoid doing the right thing and potentially making that dust cloud toxic is absolutely repugnant and the kind of behaviour that gives decently-minded investors and contractors a bad name.I am literally the last person on earth who loves regulations, but in the case of asbestos the regulations are there for a good reason.

Same thing with the SFR investment do a Cash out refinance have the money "Liquid cash" reserves on hand to offer a more aggressive purchase power and a higher PITI reserve fund.

Ideally, it will be a fixer which I will fix up and rent out by the room, while living in the ADU/MIL suite/master/ or maybe even finish off the basement.I’m looking forward to learning more about the buying process, costs/timelines of remodeling, and getting in contact with decent general contractors (anyone got recommendations?

Other than that it's a nice location decent schools too.
