My goal is to get started with a turnkey MTR or LTR, unless I can be convinced BRRR can work without being present to manage the rehab. 

Hi Jason,The expenses that you are paying to rehab the property are required to be captured in the cost basis of the property when you purchase it.

I have lenders that can fund in just a few days and are willing to finance up to 90% of the purchase price and up to 100% of the rehab budget, even for first time investors.

Here are some great resources for you to check out: The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/862964-wholes...Wholesaling Calculatorhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/rookie-241?

There are kinds of guru's who will help you buy section 8 properties in a turnkey package including the rehab the property will need to get it rented.

You may be able to confirm their most recent address through some online resources like whitepages.com or on their credit report and then look up the owner.

The moisture issue and structural issue need to be addressed and you can do so before the insurance adjuster comes out.

Connect with some contractors who can help you figure out what kind of rehab a property might need

Another post that person purchased a cheap property in april that just finished a $12k rehab (how could it take so long?)

Depending on what he is offering you i searched the address with the secretary of state.
