We are not without cash, I just don't want to tie up all of my reserves.

I was hoping somebody with some experience in rent-to-own type transactions could consider this particular situation and share their thoughts on what they would do if they were in my shoes.

About me:- 802 credit score- $0 debt - $100K in the bank (70% tied up in stocks)- My goal for Deal #1 is to buy a duplex and house hack. - I want to finance using an FHA loan.

If I were in your shoe, I will look at the distressed properties which have the main aspects of the house in relatively good condition.

Aloha Wayne-All of my money is tied up in other rental properties. - so I would need to cash-out refinance 2 other properties to come up with the $150k.I have looked in to that... it just seems expensive and cumbersome.

Hi everyone,I took a real estate class and my instructor mentioned he hates having his information in there so he has it in a trust to prevent people from figuring out what properties he has or information in general.Can some one explain how I can do this, especially if I'm tying to gain more properties.

I would tie this into solar panels to limit the utility cost. 

Is it normal to get these properties under contract and tying the validity of the contract to the result of the inspection?

Most of my savings is tied to my 401k.
