Appreciate your quick responses!

There was another thread here recently where someone bought from an online auction and couldn't get financing because he couldn't get access to the property.

Get what you can realize the goal is walk away quickly even with a small loss.

In today's economy it's better to either own apartment complexes (which don't require any experience) , Fix and Flips, or Quick Flips.I do believe that real estate property ownership is a game of quantities and how many offers you make will effect your success. 

Lot more lengthy to type out it happens pretty fluid/quickly.

Whereas the general public doesn’t know a million real estate agents, tends to hire the first one they meet (when they’re ready) 70% of the time and tends to sign whatever “normal commission” you initially propose.The great thing about working with investors is you get access to wholesale priced contractors, you learn what questions to ask, and you learn how to analyze your own buy and holds or buy and sells.

The problem is that the bank won’t allow access to enter the property at all, until the title is transferred.

I would generally disregard the “rules” locally except for very quick and crude calculations.

@Mary JayIt's difficult to get started without access to capital. 

It's a shame because he came highly recommend but I need results quickly.
