There are some VERY specialized strategies that can get around the problem, but they require buying out the former owner or one of the heirs. 

I am an out-of-state investor about to buy a property at an online auction.

Interestingly enough, Kin insurance, was actually one of the first options that had popped up during my initial online search.

Residential will have a lower barrier and capital requirement to entry.

But for assignment of contracts and other investors purchasing property you bring to them; Pace Morby or Jamil Damji would be two great guys to check out their online content!

I think for buy and hold/rent, it is promising in some cases, the more rural the county the better, overall.I don't think too many are pouring slabs (vs minimum required footings and anchors), but that's regional 

I joined BP the first year it went online, so not a Noob here.

We have no seasoning requirements as long as improvements are made to the property.

This is completely up to you, If an individual came around with perfect credit and met your other income requirements I assume you would rent to that person.

I have other priorities that require me to put this rehabbing on the back burner, I am also at a good milestone in the process.
