My wife and I are travel nurses which means we are gone for months at a time, the growth we notice on our visits home have been wild! 

If I had wholesaled the property the "traditional" way for $420,000, the profit would have been about $50,000 so I still came out ahead by jumping through hoops to sell the property at the bid up price.Lots learned during this process - while "double closing" the property was quite unconventional for typical wholesaling, in this case it was worth it because the numbers worked, even after tons of selling costs.

‘This new kitchen with granite countertops is the only one I have seen in this neighborhood, after visiting 5 properties in a 3-mile radius.

So if you MUST visit the property, you can say that you are just someone the works for the trust doing an inspection etc.

Thank you for the responses ahead of time!

Go ahead and remove this contingency, but add "Subject to interior Inspection." 

@Kirk Brown You could try AHEAD which is an affordable housing group located in Littleton, New Hampshire and see if they might help you out.

In my mind, it's better to go ahead and get permits (if they are required) then you never have to worry if what you have sunk money into will be recouped when you sell.Do not start working on the conversion until you have heard if a permit is required.  

Once we start buying properties, I want to scale as quickly as we can, and I don’t want to backpedal to handle things on the business side that could have been ready ahead of time. 

Or people who have an apartment in NY they just use for visits because it’s cheaper than a hotel.
