While out driving for $$$$, I discovered a flip I sold Last year in May is on the market.

JKTexans generally like the mobile variety because we have so much unchartered land yet to be discovered.

Make the neighbors your friends, and you’ll have taken the single best step you can toward protecting a vacant property.It’s never a good thing to drop by a vacant rental property and discover a wide open door.

But, while learning about the 2 forms, I've discovered that an investor must "pitch" the potential "deal" to either lender in order to secure funding.

@T Patrick set up some alerts on Bigger Pockets; read lots of posts and you will discover some areas that appeal to you.Welcome.

The Lender will discover this in due course anyway, since when they research and do an appraisal they will see that you are not the Seller of record.

I would assume this is no different then any other rental, the only difference should be that an option component was added.

Wayne, Joe, thank you for taking time to shed light on that topic.Here are the numbers that play a role so far:LP: $69000My offer: $68000, seller acceptedBank counter: $75000, discovered on auction.com one day priorMy counter: 69500Trustee bid ( I guess this means opening bid) is $57000I was in the property and estimated a $7000 to $8000 upfit.

@Ted Chan thanks for the info, I actually discovered this club yesterday and connected with one of the board members.

Joey, as you've discovered, probates are a real pain in the *ss for us in MA.
