My biggest block (be it mental or actual) is in funding the deals.

I do not have any extra money do to health problems and the lose of a 36 year job.

So our aim is to create a team mentality with the buyers to pursue common vision. 

the old owner is not available because he is either in a senior house with old age or mental problems or probably dead by now as far as i learnt on that part , thanks for your help 

You can set up your own retirement plan in your S-Corp, arrange for your own health benefits, ...The education I'm connected to has a two-day tax and legal class (2 days because it's so important and so detailed).

Hey Sophie,A regular bank won't lend more than 80% LTV so your 30k can buy you a 150k house and your 100k credit gives you lots of room to spend.I'd try to use the mentality of "buy like a wholesaler" and find some places in that 150k range that you can bump up over 200k.

I believe what makes a person a hoarder is a mental issue that prevents them from letting go despite the impact it has on their lives, which makes it difficult to even sell their house.

Employer rates for health insurance ?

You have to understand the mentality of the people and the system that keeps them renters .
