Another idea is we could potentially sell our SFH house, which might net about 80-90k.  

As a retired techie, I'm fascinated by new technology and its potential applications.I imagine 3D printing technology will substantially reduce the cost to build stuff, which would be deflationary for the economy.

I find the deals, analyze the deals, work with the contractors and or designers to maximize potential, then list and sell when it comes time.

with local investors, realtors, wholesalers and maybe even potential sellers. 

it occurred to me, that we only need to hold this property 6 mo more to reduced or potential Cap gains tax.   

I personally invest in apartement complexes and the problem with these smaller deals is the economy of scales and only having 3 units bringing in all your income and what if 1 of the 3 units happens to go vacant (trust me this will happen), then your cashflow could potentially be wiped out for the entire year.

My personal preference for when I occupy the home would be a house with garage, but I plan to let the numbers drive my choice.Some potential courses of action:1.

Perhaps ripe for a very undermarket offer and could be a great property.Anyone have any advice on potential ways to procede or creative ways to structure an offer?

I don't know if rent 'weakness' in Tier 2 counties is a precursor to a rent top or rent slowdown in top tier counties or not.

Meet with your potential team members there ( property manager, contractors, maybe insurance agent and mortgage broker).
