This is a crucial vehicle to your early success as a veteran.If you don't know where you will settle when you first get back, getting started learning markets that are interesting to you (and you may also like to be close to) is very wise.

It’s taking Seller a while to provide the HVAC report but while time passes after due diligence - Flooring cost is way too expensive at the price point they’re asking for 130K + Care of property never took place till decided to sell so I’m not comfortable any longer - Home sits on corner lot on a slight hill with crawl space - Lots of weather changes has caused the home to settle + improper supports needed. 

I really wish I could meet someone that could mentor me through this and help me learn the ropes without having to take all these big risks alone, but for now I'd settle for any advice you guys have that could help me out.

The insurance company may settle if the tenant has a case, but it be from a position of strength and primarily to reduce the cost of the fight.  

In the summer everything settles back down.If my assumption is correct, when the foundation lifts the floor in the winter, it will also raise the exterior wall sitting on it.

Maybe get settled in a rental for a year for the stability while you look for the right home or investment.

I recently settled a multi year law suit that mostly went my way (not as much as I had hoped as the other party was scum).  

For example is there a standard where a house has been listed for 180 days and now the bank is willing to take a bigger hit just to settle the matter?

I had to make inventory sheet myself and mark what they did not deliver and I bought -- they owed me 4500 back, I offered to settle for 3000 back.

The dust has nowhere settled on wholesaling, but to be hones “wholesaling” is a misnomer.
