I am not sure how FHA will view this second duplex.

You can view their inventory online.

If am seeking a deal from a wholesaler can I view the property and have a contractor give me an estimate for repairs before putting the house under contract?

Thanks for the point of view.

So for those you've interviewed, what's the hang up.. not meeting your criteria or they decide afterwards they don't want to submit an application after viewing.

Sounds like they are selling on land value for redevelopment and not existing income.If they are making money and the area is improving they can wait for surrounding development demand to increase the dirt value for resale.If the owner is worth a lot of money they are taking the long view to value.

I've had a wonderful opportunity to go view many potential properties to flip and went to see some of the houses that the other agents' investors are in the process of rehabbing.

Thanks for viewing and commenting!

There is a link for a membership to join, is there another way to view them?

However everyone has a different view.
