It has taken four months.Unfortunately, when probate is involved, the process can absolutely drag out.

I was trying to use the basic version today and uploaded some records and it looks like I can do anything with it! 

I’m buying to improve the property, listing, service, etc so i do it right away.

I look forward to seeing it when it's complete.

You will need to work out a mutually-agreeable solution. 

I do shy away from small cheap houses - 3/1 or 2/1 in bad areas or that are on a pier and beam type foundation.

Do you know the other markets well? 

If investing locally, then managing it yourself is the best way to learn and see if owning property is right for you.

In the last 18 months various states have instituted new rules, regulations or laws related to (1) need for licensure to wholesale (2) restrictions on marketing of a property in which you do not have ownership and (3) disclosure requirements when dealing with a homeowner that makes it clear to the homeowner that the contact signed with the wholesaler is not a definitive “sales” contract, therefore making it less likely home owners will sign4.

If the lease is month-to-month, you can do it at the end of the month.
