I'm hoping to find financing through BP that can work with me and my situation.  

I've never bought a house before, and i've never had an income to be able to be picky about my living situation, so i really have no idea what amenities to look for, and even worse, no idea what large ticket items to look for. obviously roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing - but what indicators of those can i actually inspect on my own and be able to see if this house has any major red flags? 

I've read and listened to a lot of posts and pod casts but I thought id explain MY situation to better decide.

I wanted to do wholeselling before jumping into flipping so I can get the field experience but now that you say that I will take that into consideration if I find myself in that situation. 

The situation is this: They have been in preforeclosure for 6 years he says and they finally got a notice that they must vacate in 6 months.

What say you BP Community... have you ever had a similar situation?

You cannot sign up for service online as you would with a SFR.Anyway, wondering if anyone else had a similar situation.  

@Darius Moezinia Refinance right after the completion of a 1031 is perfectly acceptable and is a frequently used strategy when cash is desired by the exchangor who does not want to create a taxable boot situation by taking cash or be seen as inappropriately accessing profit by a refinance immediately before a sale that begins a 1031.

If not, google insurance brokers in your area, explain the situation, and you will likely find one that will underwrite.

It's too time- and cash-intensive for my current situation.
