The end buyer has made it clear that if he can't get inside to estimate repairs he's not going to close on this property.Beyond offering the homeowner money, does anyone have a creative solution to this problem?

While hard money is expensive sometimes it is a good short term solution.

Dustin, I may have some solutions for you.

Solution: Write in the contract that you will manage the property for them for a small fee-I use 2%.

As long as everyone has access to basic preventative and curative healthcare and as long as everyone has the choice to go to any specific doctor they prefer (assuming they can pay for it themselves), I'm happy.As I've said before, I don't like the idea of forced public healthcare, but I hate the idea of insurance company monopolies that make it difficult for a large segment of the population to get healthcare even more.If the Dems would get off their "we can do what we want" high horse and the Republicans would stop fighting healthcare reform "just because we want to bring the issue to a standstill," I have a feeling we could develop some good reform solutions that most people will agree are good for the country...but it may require removing most of the idiots in office (on both sides) first...I have a feeling we're (at least mostly) in agreement on that as well

I am looking for a creative financing solution.

You know your local area better than I do - in fact I don't know where you are located.If you ask yourself all the what-if questions and have a reasonable solution for them, then it may be a worthwhile investment.

I have worked with companies that provide similar solutions and here is what I have found.I always double check the numbers and try to guage the current market conditions to see where local market might be headed.

Does anyone use applications/software/spreadsheets to qualify clients for solutions?
