Is there any way to avoid the "quick flip" status? 

There is no minimum number of units to attain the real estate professional status.

VA loans do take a bit sometimes if you have a complicated financial status, the reference I gave you will help!

The barrier to entry is much lower.The main barrier to entry is the accredited investor status needed and there is an easy way around that for sophisticated, but non-accredited investors.

Many times the buildings fall into abandoned and falling over status because the previous owner died without a will or next of kin.

For instance I have my acquisitions app, rental leads app, maintenance app for rentals, inspections app, purchase checklist app, company status activity app, etc.The systems I have created are mostly automated, so when something happens in one app (let's say we sell a property) it automatically creates a task for my admin to cancel insurance and remove utilities from our name, and a task for my bookkeeper to code the final HUD in Quickbooks.  

I bet you could be a good sales person, and maybe your baseball player status will help you to make sales. 

The status is *probably* (based on what you've stated) that she is relieved of the debt but the banks still have a claim against the property.

This can work well for larger Multi Family syndicates in need of Limited Partnership status, but should be avoided for SFH flip venture. 

He can also follow, and see when that loan becomes 90, 120, and if the loan enters into a modification or mitigation status.
