I would flip it but my funds are tied up in a different deal at the moment.

Most reverse mortgages are variable interest rate loans tied to short-term indexes, such as the 1-Year Treasury Bill or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus a margin that can add an extra one to three percentage points.

Or sometimes they're putting in a new line and need to make sure that they've accounted for all the laterals that tie into the system...no one wants to find out they didn't reconnect all the sewer lines. 

Here is an example:Find a deal at 50-60% of ARV, tie it up, utilize equity in another asset as a collateral assignment temporarily, spend 2-5% of ARV to fix up or retenant the property, then receive up to 75% of ARV back (cash out refinance) thereby "netting," you cash back ,  allowing you to acquire a property, and provide you cash flow (depending on your market).This would be a 0% down deal or negative down deal since you're getting cash back up to 75% of ARV.Yes you need collateral but, not necessarily since a more experienced individual with collateral or high net worth person could assign collateral on your behalf (perhaps a mentor).So by combining creative techniques, your own or assets of others, deal finding ability, and knowledge of the banking products and how to converse with bankers you could create and print money out of thin air (well you do have to invest your time of course).

If you tie the property up and can't move it the person is literally LOSING their home because you didn't preform like you agreed.

I'd likely buy it if I were in your shoes and had no plans on moving. 

This house had been empty and tied up in court for over 6 years because of the issue of it being land locked with no egress means.

If you need any help along the way, just come back to the forums and there will be plenty of people who have been in your shoes to walk you through the process.  

@Brandon Whitaker the way to get the notification script to work is by tying the @ sign followed by the first 3 letters of the persons name. 

Not using a lease option on parcel B in order to ensure that buyer doesnt just tie up the property for 6mo and then back out.
