That's a tough one...legally you're obligated to honor the lease.  

The cash flow is great but we will soon be out of mortgages and left with cash purchases or private lending, which do not appear to produce the same cash on cash.I've looked for larger units: triplexes,fourplexes and at some smaller complexes but I can never seem to find any that provide the same return without being in some tough neighborhoods.

He is honest, reliable and a hard worker.

Killeen can be a tough area but head out to cove its more family friendly. as stated your VA loan is the biggest asset you have!

The bottom line is that these folks we house are blue collar workers AT BEST and for the most park, just don't have that kind of cash laying around.  

That being said, in Decatur, multi-unit properties are few and far between to start with and then trying to find a good one out of the minimal options is very tough, which is why my last four properties I've picked up have been SFR. 

With that being said, I'm in between jobs and currently just working on projects as they come for my business.I am calling out any investors, wholesalers, construction workers, property managers, flippers, etc in the MA, CT or RI (New England) area who want HELP!

But it's going to be very tough to get a private person to pony up their money unless you have this deal locked down with a contract.You can go to local REIA events in the nearest big city and pitch your deal there.You can work with local self-directed IRA and 401(k) providers to obtain loans from their investors.You can get a gift from family.You can take out a HELOC on your current property and contribute that money toward the purchase.The list goes on...

@Christian Carson  interesting.. they make it kind of tough.. cash and carry and with no security..

Selling the biggest per sq ft house in the immediate area is a tough sell.If you have lower priced houses for the development the greatest demand will be for the entry level and mid level houses on that street.
