What might BP Nation be able to suggest in this situation.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to be in this situation, what have others done that worked? 

I don't want to waste your money on inspection, option money, and appraisal money, just to find out the house doesn't qualify for FHA, so I do my best to keep you out of those situations. 

If you can hold on till first part of January the showings and everything else should pickup.This would be my action items: 1. hire a new agent that can sell the place, and get you numbers are rent and selling and sell the place. 2. be honest on the numbers you can get on an ARV so that you can sell it 3. start to get the conversation started with a couple lenders on what these numbers on refi would look like for you and this property 4. my suggestion would be to refi/rent before selling at a loss because if numbers work you can hold for a couple years then sell, but this is dependent on your cash position and liquidity of your situation. 

In situations like this I don’t like to be the test case, give it time and see what people say after 6-12 months

Partnering with Billy Medlen, we saw the opportunity to create a win-win situation by transforming the property and delivering a strong profit.

Any thoughts is you were in this situation?

We often mail out the first check when we encounter these situations. 

I am very interested from hearing from you guys that have experienced this situation.

And getting in the middle of a domestic situation is a good way to end up dead.
