Best bet is to just use hard money unless you can stay put for 6 months.

That insulates me in a different way.9) You have to figure out your net worth to see what sort of umbrella insurance you should have on yourself as if something major happens and you have a decent net worth, you can bet your bottom dollar they are coming after you personally.   

Best bet is to burn it down and start all over.

Take a look around BP for the "90 day challenge" - plus I would bet on a number of upcoming resources and webinars designed to help people with buying their first property by the end of the year.If you've already done all that and are still struggling with which direction to go, the bottom line is that it doesn't matter.

This is why Memphis is such a dead dead dead market along with so many other rust belt zero job growth cities.Learn how to sniff out where employers are moving, opening up new plants, divisions, hiring, then buy rentals in the path of that progress. 

It seems to me that they already did the deal and you're out of luck.If I have a great deal with financing and tenant all lined up, you can bet I ain't wholesaling that to nobody!
