When I was in my PhD program I received pre approval from a lender based on the stipend I received from my department; it sounds like you won't have that income source?  

Calling the police department seems to be a great plan though as opposed to getting the varying opinions of some realtors and those who don't actually invest in those areas and just watch the evening news in fear. 

Talk to the commercial lending department of a local/regional bank.  

The compliance department of a Fannie/Freddie lender to review it, to ensure they will go for what you made up, assuming a financed end-buyer.

The below quote comes directly from Conn Department of Insurance When can an insurance company cancel my homeowners coverage?

You might want to try go to through bank's or credit union's business or commercial department vs personal department.  

In PA (and I believe this holds true for most states as well), you can conduct business in the state by first registering your "foreign entity" with the PA secretary of state or the department of state; but that would mean that you have to continue to maintain the "foreign entity" in the state where it had been created - your CA LLC would continue to have to pay the $800 or so a year that CA gets for that.

I looked for one of the properties on the county admissions department and it wasnt listed?

Ask your friendly title company to create a HUD-1 for youWith the offer attach pictures of all the ugly things about the property; the landscaping, broken windows, bad walk ways, bad fencing, green water in the pool, any nasty pictures of the interior, the estimate amount of renovations neededWrite a cover letter stating what you will do if they accept your offer; secure the property, insure the house, pay all cash, take care immediately of the roof problem, protect and secure the house form squatters, have the electric turned on, notify the water department, notify the local police to keep an eye out for vandals...etc.Since no one at the bank can make a decision as fast as you want, put a drop dead date in your offer.

@Mike Jones Commercial lending departments usually do require updated financial and property information like you mentioned.
