I live in LA and train RE Investors.Being excited and exuberant is good.Understanding the Seller's Issues are more important than anything.Knowing the existing financing allows for creative solutions outside wholesaling, like a Terms Purchase Offer.Here is a form for all Seller SuspectsYou want to know all of this info.And work with expired listings. 

As @Justin B. said, the old book was a bit outdated and reliant on paper solutions; hoping the new one really dives into how to make things digital.

My biggest concern with this is that while I'm saving as much as I can, I simply don't have much money to work with at the moment.Would financing the appliances be a viable solution, or is that not recommended?

(MLM is not my bag, but he's doing pretty good).You need a policies and procedures manual with clear limitations of what a VA can and can't address - extremely basic and to the point, so that when a question or a situation comes up, an agent can open the book and find the answer or the solution.

I search for random questions and always find several solutions.

I'm not a lawyer... but the EASIEST and SAFEST solution is to get all terms in writing and signed by both parties.

In my opinion in this situation no need to pay anything talk to you lender,Take suggestion ask question come out with a solution discussion with your lender takes you out from this situation

SOLUTION, get more deals in the pipeline.
