Hello, Mark Svendsen, based on the information provided, here’s my analysis and some considerations regarding the trustee's decision and your options:1. 

The info I've found online on FIRPTA is a bit unclear, so I'm hoping someone here at BP will provide some clarity. 

The only caveat is you are only allowed one active FHA loan per customer.

we use property preservation companies and they charge anywhere from $20-$50/photo depending on quantity and location.also provide you with a report on the property as well. 

Can I take out a hard money loan for the 43K plus the 40K rehab amount and have him owner finance the rest of the purchase price to me?

Cash and credit are key when it comes to fix and flip loans.

Money is getting tight, thinking about getting a personal loan to buy me some time. 

I have an SBA loan on that one and it only cash-flows me a few hundred dollars a month.  

Hey Kyle,Curious what loan you used for this transaction.

They all appreciate but peninsula is more stable in downturns and recovers the fastest, I witnessed this myself in 2012 further in east bay was still about 40% down and peninsula and "tech" cities already recovered fully.I am not sure you need a loan or not, recently I asked my mortgage broker he told me for a second home it would need to be at least 50 miles away and also in a city known for vacation activity .
