I also do virtual wholesaling in Memphis and as the others here mentioned, it's very tricky to locate properties by zip as there are "good" streets in "bad neighborhood" and "bad" streets in "good neighborhood".My best advise to you is to have boots on the ground whether it is a realtor, property manager, or any other local person who is familiar with the area and can drive by and give you feedback on the street and the neighborhood.Good luck

Also be advised that given the inherent risks associated with their vocations we are actively pursuing a rental property for one to allow her to ‘eventually’ become self sufficient.

I appreciate your advise and comments.I downloaded @Ankit Duggal 's financial model and decided to build my own customized for Arizona tax liens investment.Great tips for tax deduction for properties tours.

Can anyone advise me on this please?

If they will not take them out of your name the next step would be to consider asking for the utilities to be shut off, but you need someone very familiar with SD law to advise you before taking such a step.

They are requesting that I put 85k down and pay off my vehicle which isn't a problem, I just don't understand why they are requiring so much and my agent has advised me that it could be because I am relocating.

If you handle it right you should get paid for your time as well as the damages.My advise is to hire everything done and done quick and right.

Possible, but not advisable.

And, you've decided that someone, who has no law degree, no compliance experience and has dealt in RE/dealing in mobile home deals for 11 years is is an expert to advise you in federal law and financial compliance.

We advise our client's that it's the first place to start.
