So you're picking the RE markets with the headlines of mostly likely in trouble to get exposure for your product?  

While it could work for RTS leads you're exposure on the above idea is huge.

I can't find any company that protects against exposures from flipping..

If you can find an attorney who will take the case, you might try bringing a civil suit against the "heir" charging theft, possession of stolen articles, sale of stolen articles and anything else the attorney may suggest.If you try AP again, please remember to limit your exposure to potential losses by not filling the property with your own possessions, especially those which are financed / purchased on credit, until you obtain legal and defensible title to the house.

Well; you have a long history of asbestos exposure, and it says here that you've smoked 1-2 packs of unfiltered cigarettes for the past 35 years.

Flipping has less exposure to long term market trends than buy and hold.  

They contribute just enough in the employer plan to max out the employer match, and then defer some of the income they receive from flipping houses personally into their own Solo 401(k), thus reducing their tax exposure in that enterprise.  

I try to keep my comments on topic because I don't care to comment where the exposure of what I might post will be limited to those currently involved with a thread.

Starting small limits your exposure and allows you to learn how things REALLY work in this business.I admire your desire to succeed and the fact that you are young and keen to "have a go" is great, but don't do it with other people's money.

Susan,Bank of America uses local Real Estate agents to sell their properties so you would need to talk to the loan officer and politely ask them which agents they use in particular.They may tell you to hit the road or they may just call the agent for you and tell them to contact you but,don't bet on it.The banks want the widest exposure possible when trying to sell their REO's and don't play favorites unless you are a multimillionaire and looking to buy dozens of their properties at one time.
