I have looked around online, but haven't had any luck yet, i have local real estate agent there, but they are not expertised on those distressed properties.  

I want to learn about you and your area of expertise.

Given your husband's expertise in marketing, you probably have the skills to grow a business. 

Better still, the recessed handle trim is visibly chipped (stands out as bad.)

@Jake Santos don’t have experience renting out but have plenty of expertise from a tax perspective in regards to this.

I'm sure that I will need your 18 years of expertise sooner than later.

While the forums here may be helpful, those forums are private and specifically for LPs of any syndication deal, that niche group may have more expertise for you in this situation. 

I come to you hat-in-hand, looking for the collective expertise I've come to enjoy here. 

With 20 years in wholesaling, I’ve seen it’s often best to focus on either acquisitions or dispositions when starting out—it helps you build expertise faster.
