Seller trying to become a buyer

By
Real Estate Agent with Gustave White Sotheby's International Realty

I have a client who owns a two family he lives in and wants to buy a single family residence to move into. He cannot sell his multi family without a loss so retaining it as an investment property. Will have a hard time getting a mortgage because banks are now leary of pyramid schemes where the first property went to foreclosure because the value was less than the mortgage.
