@Chad LabrecqueFirst, you could look at what your NOI might be if you converted your primary residence into an investment property.

I am looking forward to learning from all of you and eventually contributing as I gain experience!

The condo is being offered at a great price, however, and it's a wonderful building with great amenities.While I am able to find other lending options, my concern is regarding when I eventually have to sell the property.

This is the unit, we're converting this room to a second bathroom, if interested in applying, let me know and I'll send you the link.Next...

Not trying to force a sub-to into existence, I just think this might be one of the rare cases where it gives the seller a path to stay in her home, clean up her situation, and eventually buy it back.

It's a truly powerful strategy to get started with lower risk and you sort of "learn on the job" which can be great if you want to scale eventually and add more.

Doesn’t fit their objectives.Your best REI strategy down there is to help a local convert government Lease land which is Pennie’s on the dollar.  

I have seem cases where 2 prong outlets have been converted to 3 prong outlets with no protection, no Gfci protection up the line.  

FHA on a 4-plex is a powerful move because it positions you for strong long-term returns once you vacate and convert to a DSCR or conventional rental loan later. 

Make sure whatever you do, if the next owner doesn't want it as a separate suite, it can easily be converted back.
