I'm also wondering if it is a portable structure such as a tiny house on wheels or mobile home, if that circumvents the need for certain permits?

Its called a mail away closing done all the time.open with title company have them hire a mobile notary if you can't get the seller to go to her bank for notary.

., they owe too much on their house, or it's a mobile home, they are in foreclosure, etc.  

., flipping houses, mobile home investing, etc.) and am so excited with all the information I'm finding. 

I have not studied much on mobile homes and would greatly appreciate if someone could tell what they would ask the owner and the action they would take on this house.

However, he lost it all: the Tax Reform Act of 1986 brought about major changes in the real estate market and forced bankers to take a closer look at people they were lending money to – and Ramsey got burned.

It's on a half acre, great school district, strong comps, just outside the city limits in the county,  but my concern is that right next door are two mobile homes. 

You can find burned out landlords by tracking evictions.
