Hi Everyone,I Appreciate the time and tips in advance! 

I sort of dismissed this path thinking it was perhaps along the line of a "loan shark" or a payday advance. 

Thanks in advance for the advise.

I switched up my financing method so I am not under as tight of a deadline.

But What else the communication method I need to do in this month while she is allowed to live in my house?

Thank you in advance for any help and suggestions!

As Is" simply means the seller is not agreeing, in advance, to performing any repairs typically that may be required to be in a financable condition. 

It can be an effective method if you target the right people and do it well.Finding off market deals is tough, especially if you're doing it by yourself.

Thanks in advance!

I'm a bit discouraged because, as a beginning investor, I was hoping to use basic financing methods (read: conventional loan) to obtain my first property, but that is beginning to seem like it isn't an option.
