I found your post because I am searching garage investing myself.

My post isn't meant to argue your idea, but more to contribute additional thoughts to the discussion.Thanks for the response and the discussion.

I'm not sure why the date purchased didn't show up on the post, but I bought this duplex back in December of 2018.

He doesn't have an SSN.A couple weeks ago, I found a post on the university's housing page of him stating that he is looking for a place to move immediately, I wanted to bring it up to him because we had a discussion about me being a little overbearing. 

If you put walls up around your dumpsters with signs posted, no trespassing, for residents only, etc. it can help.

Meetup.com is a good resource for those but some of the groups will also post here on Bigger Pockets Marketplace too.

What you described in your post is more like Mezz or convertible debt. 

i have had agents ask for this in the past. if it's off market, then everything is really between you and the seller.but post more info if this is not capturing the situation accurately
