I am reaching out to experienced flippers to help me make the process as smooth as possible. 

The worst thing you can do is inherit a bad tenant and then you'll have to go through the eviction process. 

I agree with a strong property management plan, but I find the screening process is paramount. 

Seller Financing I am the buyer with 30 days to purchase the property and want to simultaneously market it as rent-to-own,  how can I structure the process effectively:Can I structure the deal this way, so I can secure a tenant-buyer while working to close on the home myself,  minimizing my risk and creating a win-win situation.

If its a log cabin it might have trouble qualifying for the refi - would be smart to get some opinions early if that is your gameplan - would likely be a bigger potential hurdle than the gift/original purchase process

Julie Harrison and Walter Wofford etc.. all good people to know I have lent to all of them successfully.  

I've had success with Eagle Eye Networks.Next consider if you want it monitored or just recorded.

Process this, and be take the next steps wisely.

This will set a strong foundation for long-term success and scaleability. 

I would also get with a local realtor to get some market insight on things like where to buy in your market and what are your best financing options for a successful first deal.
