I'm obviously new as the subject clearly indicates. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can so please forgive me if I sound ignorant, because I am. I was thinking about multifamily but there seems to be good deals o...

I looked for 8 months, made a couple offers and had a few accepted offers fell through.

Just do the walk through, take notes, accept the keys, and say thank you goodbye.

I have read a lot of books and still reading and no I am reading to test my knowledge can anyone point me in a good direction.   

I'm thinking I should start off in smaller, impoverished areas and work my way out just to test how it will work. 

It could be that they don't have the money or the desire to actually do a probate in which case they may take a larger discount just for their interest in the deal and you do your own probate as the owner of their interest.They may accept 5-10k for their interest in the estate.  

He will not accept MAO but is open to creative financing.

This was a shortsale and now the bank is going through all the necessary paperwork, the seller has accepted my offer and I'm at the last step which is closing the deal out with cash funds. , please contact me if your a serious investor looking for a easy flip in the Irmo South  Carolina area or if your a serious individual with cash funds and would like to partner with me on a deal which is a great situation for someone who is not willing to do all the work and just wants to be included!

I accept applications during that time frame.

Your option is to do a pressure test of the line to check for leaksThe bigger issue will be the appraisal if you are getting a loan.
