Would like some insight into the lock setup for my first duplex. 

Well I am a wholesaler so I used some of the marketing strategies I learned from other investors and reading to lock this deal in.

As opposed to right now, where there are huge swaths of areas that have "no income," designation and you can buy 5% down fourplexes at will.I think the govt agencies figured out that their money wasnt really helping the intended but rather being used to help aspiring investors build their portfolio so they've decided to make this adjustment.As a lender we can still use this program as long as we lock prior to the end of july 

You can normally lock it in for 1-5 years.

Also the sliding lock latch of same doors is rusted, one so much that the door can not be unlocked to open it on one unit.If there is not a mobile repair company, it there a place one can buy the parts? 

@Derrick Locke are you trying to do a live-in flip and avoid the tax hit?

Hello everyone, I was wondering what kind of contracts everyone else is using to lock up deals in Arizona.

Then you are locked into dealing with them for the next year and a half. hope this helps! 

Since closing date, we've had the condo listed through a realtor (who as a side-note isn't very responsive or provides much value but we are locked in via contract for a few months).

No idea if they tried to change the locks without my knowledge, but I am aiming for early next week.
