Can the finance company start foreclosure proceedings again in the future?

Then you can proceed from there.

I paid for the inspection, liked the results, and informed the seller I was ready to proceed to closing.

Just have them offer you 20% carry-back financing, get qualified for the remaining 80% conventionally, proceed to purchase the property and complete the renovations, then refinance after seasoning.

Matt's a little bashful on this RE stuff sometimes:)  However, he really knows this REI stuff!

It would cost a great deal more to proceed without meeting codes and then fail inspections.In my humble opinion, you are better off paying a decent fee to the architect rather than cutting corners and having a bunch of missing details and code issues.

Just finished a flip and we thought it was proceed right but no showings.  

In a normal transaction the seller will pay the commission from the proceeds of the sale. 

Find distressed properties in your area, perhaps ones with grown up yards or broken windows, then proceed to contact the owner of the property; pre-foreclosures are ideal, as well.

I've looked at many occupied properties before from a buyer's perspective, but this is the first time I am selling one myself and am looking for a little guidance as to how to proceed delicately as the tenants are pretty loyal to me as a landlord and I am assuming aren't going to take news of the potential sale well due to the uncertainty of a new landlord and whether or not they will continue to honor the existing lease.They currently have about 5 months left on their existing lease and although I would love to wait until their lease is up before selling, at the same time I don't want to sell the place in the late fall/early winter.
