This is known as “speculating,” and it isn’t much better than getting in your car, driving to Vegas, and betting all your money at the poker table.

I lost a lot of opportunities due to poor follow up.

they normally look at the seller to give a lot of seller credits and the home has to pass their fairly rigid inspection criteria.. they dont want first time homeowners in homes that are in need of a lot of repair or deferred maintenance. the program basically is for those with poor credit and little to no money but can toe the line and get into home ownership.. 

I prefer under-valued, distressed, poorly managed, properties needing updating/rehabbing in markets where I can buy at a discount and build equity and cash flow for my time and investment.

I'd bet there are thousands of people out there willing to do it.And another option, which you already mentioned, is a VA. 

I didn't want to use a partner, but it sounds like that"s going to be best bet to get off the ground.Thanks again.

Your best bet is to get a high-performing real estate agent to market your property for you.

Honestly, your best bet is to approach the previous owner and explain the situation to them and negotiate a move-out deal.
