Prior to understanding how to cashflow, I made to real estate investments simply because I didn't want my money sitting in the back. 

Marcus - your post is on an old thread and the prior participants may well have moved on to other topics.I think what you're asking can be answered this way:Every State has different laws concerning probating decedent's estates.

This is essentially how it worked for the 100 years prior to the MLS being put on the internet.

Give him a call, apologize for asking him to put TP in the trash can (that will create common ground and a more reasonable starting point for a resolution), let him know that prior residents did not have issues, have his family curtesy flush, and let him know that future clogs are his responsibility. 

Anyone care to share their success stories of vacant land tracts they’ve flipped by themselves with no prior experience?

The only reason you should not enforce action is if its contrary to an applicable law or regulation...Here is another section from Seller Covenants:Seller agrees to honor requests for execution of endorsements of Mortgage Note from Seller to Buyer if made within thirty (30) days following the Transfer Date, after which Seller shall not be obligated to honor such requests.So if there was an issue with a prior document, after 30 days they can tell you to go pound sand - and based on court documents, this has happened. 

With buyer agencies being required prior to a showing you may be limited.

As of right now, I wanted to see if there is any duplexes under $250k and to possibly Long Distance Invest for now prior to moving in. 

Most DSCR Lenders will require the property to be rented for a refinance (or if used as an STR for example, have some STR history)  You may be able to find an option for refinancing prior to leasing, but it will make it more challenging and will likely need a "good reason" more than just speed3.

A few things to remember, just in case you want to expand down the road:-Always get an inspection report prior to closing.
