@Simpy Cheema I would suggest with checking the local forums.

That's all the house needs, and my realtor suggests selling it for $180,000 after I get the new flooring installed.

I appreciate all thoughts and suggestions!

If you have a minute, I suggest looking at a TedTalk by Stephen Duneier (link below).

Another local BP member suggested I reach out on the forums to see if anyone has ever worked w/ John Ireland before.

   $1.5MM25% Down would be $375KIt was suggested to me to speak with the owners (who I know - they are personal friends) about Owner Carry for $250K.Does this mean A) The $250K is subtracted from the original purchase price and therefore I would have to come up with 25% of $1.25MM  or..B) Out of the $375K down the owner would carry $250K and I would have to put $175K down on the deal ?

@Mayer MI love your rehab suggestions, Mayer!

This is a really good suggestion.

I would suggest Mesa or North Central Phoenix for duplexes because there can be some nicer pockets of neighborhoods but you could still find some value properties.

I don't own anything this big so you may take my suggestions with a grain of salt.
