Also walking past a few of these properties undergoing transformations yesterday I saw another problem that may not be a simple solution.

I am looking into buying a duplex in a strong rental market in a great location but there is a new multifamily development that is scheduled to start construction later this year on the property right behind the duplex (line of trees behind to separate but traffic would go through street in front) .

If something bad happens with the property you have leverage against the lender for a workout solution as they have no recourse against the borrower.

I highly recommend my IRA trustee to anyone looking for an affordable, no frills SDIRA solution.

I am in search for the best way to gain knowledge in creative financing/ deal engineering so I have a solution for all of the homeowners that I deal with.

And when you farm a neighborhood, you'll have multiple solutions for any situation, quickly making you the go-to guy.Just keep in mind that you'll have more tools in the toolbox, and also more responsibilities.

I would go to seller, especially if you have good documentation of disclosures in your favor, and ask them to pay for a solution. 

Or talk to some lenders about your credit idea..i recall another forum on this same topic with some Creative solutions you might search (I think it was a triplex needing a roof) Best of luck...

It's a little-known solution, and there might be significantly more upside for you there. 

Could be dogs too.Normally my solution would be to put up a fence all the way around the back, but this is a lake so this will block the view.My backyard extends to a seawall, then from the seawall slopes a few feet down to a platform where a kayak, paddle boat etc... can be launched.
