Can you make an offer on a Homepath property if the status shows "Coming Soon"?

It depends upon many things such as the occupancy status of the property is vacant, clear title, loan origination issues, who the underlying investor is etc.....If the property is occupied, the first step will be eviction.

They will look at what you claim as income plus what your overall tax deductibility status looks like on that asset.

I am not an lawyer (and I do not play one on TV ;-)) but I went looking on masslegalhelp.org and found this nugget on Federal public housing:Federal public housingIf you are applying for federal public housing, a housing authority  must deny your application if it finds that:A household member is currently engaged in illegal use of a drug, or the  Housing Authority has reasonable cause to believe a household member's illegal  use of a drug or pattern of illegal use of a drug may threaten the health,  safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.1 The Housing Authority has reasonable cause to believe that a household  member's abuse or pattern of abuse of alcohol may threaten the health, safety,  or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.2   Importantbefore denying a person housing based on illegal drug use or alcohol  abuse, a housing authority may consider evidence of rehabilitation3.Any member of your household is subject to a lifetime registration  requirement under a state sex offender registration program.4 Any household member has been convicted of the manufacture or production of  methamphetamine in federally assisted housing.5 Any household member has been evicted from federally assisted housing for  drug-related criminal activity within the past three  years.6   ImportantA housing authority can also let your household in if the person who  engaged in the drug-related criminal activity has  successfully completed a supervised, approved rehabilitation program, or if the  circumstances leading to the eviction no longer exist—for example, the household  member has died or is in jail.7 In addition to the automatic denials listed above, a housing authority  may deny applicants "whose habits and practices reasonably may  be expected to have a detrimental effect on the residents or the project  environment."8 This means that a housing  authority has wide discretion over whom it allows  into its federal public housing programs.

@Tracey Marzich I think I would pursue the option of your dad using his VA status to get the house.

Hi @John Colaizzi - Right now, anyone who wants pro status has to upgrade individually.  

Unlike you I'm not eager for problems :-) though I LOOOOVE learning new things always; I feel its another way to increase my income and status in this industry.

Sadly to many of these kids these animals are status symbols or make them feel tough or hard ( whatever ).

It depends on residency and homestead exemption status and how much of an increase it is.

He has made much of his living for a good number of years, taking care of properties that were owned by a man that is having health problems now and has called off much of the work that was going on.
