You know those signs that say "we buy houses for cash" call them and say you are investor looking to buy a flip. 

House gets foreclosed on when a borrower is not paying its debt obligations - typically its mortgage.buying foreclosures is not for the faint of heart as you have no idea of the interior of these properties lastly while it can be beneficial also realize if there are a lot in an area those homes are the new comps when trying to sell so it lowers home values in an area 

You can make house hacking work anywhere, really.

I have seen this same house that is vacant (all the classic signs) I have located the owner ( I have not reached out to her yet).

The house is set way back at the end of a long winding driveway, the front is fully fenced for maximum privacy. 

Seller has decided to walk with our EM and put the house back on the market.

if i were to acquire these and have them be owner financed, I would want clear title and the other mortgage on this lot removed - especially if my loan has a balloon on it that matures prior to the existing loan, as how would to provide clear title?

If I sell the house, can I do the 1033 exchange too?

Short-term rentals of non-owner-occupied properties will also require a special use variance which is obtainable by starting with the completion of an application in the Zoning Department."

I have been on BP a long time and maybe about eight years ago , a person had a small chance of finding a posted house for sale here that can be flipped.
