If I do move forward with this, I would fly out there and see the property first-hand before committing.Purchase Price: $115,000Closing Cost:  $2,500Est.

Professionalism - Obviously, all monies get handed off to the title company or attorney that is closing the deal. 9.

On one hand, I would think that if they have lived at a property for an extended period of time, have an attachment to it, they are more willing to be less of a hassle and would do a better job at taking care of your property. 

Not all of my buyers have attended inspections, but I'd say 90% of them do, even if it's dropping in near the end to hear what was found first hand.

I have a very interesting, yet complex case on my hands.

On the one hand, the new construction could help reinvigorate values.

I have 20 years of training and hands on experience in the very skills you are referring to. 

To fix and flip, buy and hold, fix and occupy.What are you capabilities, how much cash on hand, what can you qualify etc.If you are just starting out a great way is to buy an owner occupied property that needs rehab, fix it up, occupy and refi, wait a year or two and repeat process.

It still rests in your hands to continuously check up on the status of the home warranty company.

So I do have 1st hand proof that they do indeed close some loans.
