Unlike an FHA loan's Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) that will last the life of the loan, a conventional loan's Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is automatically removed once your loan-to-value ratio reaches 78%.

If they have never done a MHP loan, don't waste your time. 

In most investments like these, the investor is completely removed from the asset, the management, or the operational perspective of the investment.When you invest in syndicated investment, the syndicator/sponsor will handle all aspects of the deal such as, due diligence, locating a profitable property (or properties), hiring and managing the property manager, sending out quarterly reports, implementing the business plan, handling investor relations, and so on.

From the agent's perspective, though, I understand the risk and unwillingness to "waste" time if you aren't sure a buyer is truly serious. 

I am confident that my wife and I can retire on a reasonable income within 3-4 years through investing in real estate since our 9-5 jobs provide an exceptional amount of capital as long as we don't waste it.

You can save time though by getting a feel of where the seller is at before wasting time on a walkthrough. 

The tiles adjacent to the wall and the baseboard have been removed, the drain tile put in, concreted over, and this has left a depressed section 18”wide that has a drop off of ¼” from the existing tile.For a quick, low-cost solution, I was thinking of putting floor leveler in, then painting it a similar color to the tile that’s there, then putting the baseboard.

The waste line will be more of a challenge, but certainly doable. 

So you can demand that the estate remove the house, or negotiate rent or ask about buying out the house, then you would pay whatever is negotiated for the house and take title to the house, if you want it.
