I just stumbled across a beautiful 5/4 duplex (one unit being a 2 bedroom, 2 bath and the other a 3 bedroom, 2 bath. . Its REO and listed for $160,000. ARV in the area is $360,000 and it needs about $10,000 in repairs (To bring it up to market value, its still livable w/o repairs). Fair market rent in the area for a 2/1 is $900. Its not yet listed on the MLS. I have No Cash & Bad Credit. What can I do?
