it's all circumstance with a little bit of effort.  

Bad contractor, unforeseen damages, weather, theft, vandalism, etc. all can delay your reno.

Also, due to our family, work, school, and life circumstances growing-up, our current savings is in the mid-four figures.  

I accumulated 6 rental properties over the years, but due to circumstances I had to sell them all in the last couple of years.I miss the real estate investing world and am ready to get back in.  

I want to know what's the best way you have found to A: show the house to other investors you plan to wholesale to under these circumstances and B: explain to the seller that I may not be the one that closes, and that is the reason I need to have access before closing.

Followers", are victims of their circumstances.  

Another is Scottsdale, part of Nationwide Mutual.Most likely we would use an admitted insurer unless VERY special circumstances come up. 

I agree with Scott, you shouldn't not do a deal because of tax implications (in this circumstance).  

There is also no minimum as to claims of equity that may be acquired by a tenant-buyer, a judge may well take into consideration a "buyer's" ability to pay an option price, regardless of the percentage of a sale price, if that amount appears to be excessive under the circumstances, for example, a buyer had $5,300.00 and the investor took $5,000.00 and basically cleaned them out, that can be an issue considered.

Just depends on timing, circumstances, etc.
