You can order a car from Tesla, and never have test driven it. 

My neighborhood in Boston was designated as a test neighborhood for passive-house/zero-energy designs a few years ago.

It was nice to get to put my tenant screening plans to the test.

Best case scenario would be to have a large master br at the minimum acceptable size for a 1br, and a 2nd BR you could advertise as a 2nd or office, depending on the tenant.

For example, the City of Berkeley requires that a sewer lateral test and repair if necessary be done when a property transfers title.  

Safe act, Dodd Frank is not involved since the seller financing was to an investor.Just put in the agent comments, NO FHA offers accepted before XX date that is 30 days prior to the 90 day line in the sand.  

In my area, a foreclosure or short sale or reverse mortgage that needs repairs is discounted heavily enough for me to make a nice profit and maintain a healthy roi for the investor if they accept my low offer.

Ask any agent for them - have a buyer's broker agreement with them and they will make offer for you - sometimes it is best to just go knock on the door to ask if they are still accepting offers.

With flipping, you are going to have to accept some level of risk. 

Did you beat the reserve, or did they accept something less?
