After selling cost and some negotiations there is really not that much money left.

A lot of cameras have the solar panel built in so optimum camera angle can also mean less than optimal solar panel alignment.

I'm fairly confident from reading online we don't qualify for an exemption, but I'm trying to assess actual closing costs to trying and reduce them All details:Bought the house 2.5 years ago for $980K (left on mortgage $753K), we have a clause for an assumable mortgage for me to take over (I can keep same rate).

Nevada’s a great market, too; have you found that flipping there aligns with your strategy as well? 

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

You described my forum life in a nutshell and verbatim.Sound advice based on years of experience is now negative and unsupportive if it doesn't align with "the plan" hatched up after 11 days of "research". :)

I emailed and left a voicemail with his contact at New American Financing and got no response so @Jason Taliaferro's info explains that a bit.  

Mostly worried that even if I find a place and the money, that I'll be making a big financial mistake and have little left to cover unexpected costs.

The last I paid the owner $200 for a property he had left 6 years ago.

Each has its own upsides and challenges, so think about what aligns with your goals.Speaking of goals.
