Should give you a good selection to chose from and you can call or email a few and ask their price and turn time. 

That doesn't count (and I had to sign something that I would never reveal how much money I walked away with).2) I use to be the king of the short sales in 2009 until they passed some laws that basically made going after pre-foreclosures very risky.

Besides not putting a for sale sign in front of the property, what else can I do and put in the MLS in regards to showings, offers, inspections/walk throughs? 

Anyway, with a HML first and a 20% 2nd Gap funding the holding costs may eat up your profit if you don't turn that property fast.

I deal with these all the time, so when you're ready to acquire give me a shout and I'll turn you on to the latest opportunities.  

Someone painted FU on our property (not a tenant) just wondering if maybe a "fake" security camera might be a good option or a sign saying the property is under surveillance?

He turned a 2 bedroom house with no parking into a 3 bedroom house with off street parking.  

I am self-employed and take out large deductions, so using returns for income verification is a problem.Do I have any options to pull out equity from these properties, or do I have to turn to hard money to fund this flip?

The bathroom is very small and awkward it would be a for sure turn-off to me if I was renting the place and I think many others would feel the same.

@Duane Kidman Thanks I will definitely look into probate issues if this turns out to be something I want to pursue.
