I'm not sure if the repair is needed as of yet the sale is marked as is however it is listed wrong at two bedrooms one bathroom and is actually three bedrooms and two bathrooms with almost 2300 square feet and on 8 Acres.

I have looked at loans and such but some of them seem unobtainable or to much red tape.

And if there are some red flags, I'll dive into social media to see if he's constantly waving the 5-leaf flag or partying heavy or whatever.I won't tell him he's declined because of what I found on facebook, but it may sway my decision to reject based on something else.

Any advice, estimates, or red flags I want to hear! 

Give me the address or show pictures.Whats the square footage.Are they 1/1 studios or what.I’ll need more information.

Homes in Southeast Alabama are flying off the market and the price per square foot is ridiculous.

This organization hasn’t given a red cent to benefit a single black person.

1900 home good condition.  1100 square feet. 

It can value exact comps because computers don't understand that if two houses have the same square footage and same bedrooms, but one is completely open concept and the other is not and not updated, there is no comparison.

On that note, you might not want to mention to your lender that you intend to move out and convert it to a rental...that would be a major red flag in terms of getting a HELOC.Another big advantage of the HELOC is you only pay if you use the funds, opposed to a cash out refi where you'll be making payments whether you've deployed the capital or not.
