Attorneys just don't seem to want to assist in any way as this kind of deal is promoting breach of contract with regard to the current owner and has some risk.I guess if someone could convince me it's possible, would they be willing to explain a step-by-step process to me?

What types of properties are you looking for and what kinds of return do you want?

I must admit, I am struggling a little on this one.We already made an offer on the home and the counter was decent, still keeping us below initial asking price.The offer was with indication that we would be doing an independent home inspection, always a smart idea.At first visit to property, there was concern on the diagonal/zig zagging lines in the walls, the few gaping holes where the stairs meet the home – evidence that the staircases had at one point pulled away/separated from the home.This cracking is by no means just settling, my limited knowledge of home construction was telling me, this here was a structural issue.But wait….. there’s more!

Google them and see what kind of reviews they have.

My biggest or most unusual problems were: abandoned vehicles, a person escaped from a mental institution, tenants with pet rattlesnakes that escaped their container, a round trip visit to the dentist for a wisdom tooth removal, a one way bus ticket from Kansas to Georgia, cashing $25,000 worth of checks each week for a group of guys from out of state, etc.  

Which is kind of silly, but a reality.     

For that kind of investment I just wouldn't risk it.

@Jd MartinI have some time.... but it is about to start getting cold, so I don't know if I have THAT kind of time before then.

Curious to see what kind of rates you have been getting.
