Many lenders won’t even touch them.

Called several land lenders and they won't touch me if I'm not a citizen, and they're very reluctant even if I were on a greencard.Any creative things I can do to leverage my position?

If you need some Philly quad advice, get in touch with @Daniel Klein.

I would also let both parties know that from here forward they need to work this out themselves and ask the tenant to keep you in the loop so you can keep in touch with what is happening at  your home.  

I’m new to finding my own deals so any information on how to get in touch with the kids or how to deal with a property in probate is useful.

I've called a half dozen appraisers and nobody will touch it - either way too busy with their bank and mortgage work, or because it's outside of their city/zone (rural Alabama).Thanks!

I invest almost solely in this vintage and I don't touch anything with basements.

Otherwise you'll need to assign your contract rights to another buyer for a fee (in which case there would be only one closing).Anybody who tells you don't need funds to double close either doesn't know the law or is ignoring it.Some title companies won't touch these types of deals because either they don't understand them, are scared of them, or both.

"Flipping" seems to be a dirty word, and if you are insinuating that people are buying houses, doing no improvements and then selling a few months later just based on appreciation in San Diego then you are  greatly out of touch with the market. 

The town is literally touching Columbus - but on the Alabama side, and I can see how comps will be tough.
