We are not allowed to post phone numbers here, on in the market place. 

You also may be required to use certified contractors to do the Rehab.  

Is anyone else having issues when searching the marketplace with IPhone?

Hi Joanna, I've actually found a few by direct messaging landlords who are self-listing their rentals on the Facebook Marketplace.

I’m a interNACHI certified inspector, and I’m currently employed with a basement repair company, and understand the risks and cost with those major repairs (currently doing sales).

Perhaps add cutting lawns and trimming bushes to your offering.In the age of Craigslist, Facebook marketplace and PayPal/Venmo/cashapp, anyone can start a side hustle pretty easily with some free ads, flyers, and a few T-shirts with your business logo.

@Mateusz Prawdzik Is absolutely right Cash is king (HML's work well too) in the Northern NJ marketplace and properties go FAST!

I'll only chime in on the "not able to sell" aspect of your post. biggerpockets.com has a market place. 

They informed me that a series of steps have to be taken in order to purchase this property which they called “steps for assignment process”.One of those steps was to send a certified letter to the daughter (the Personal Representative of the estate) stating my intentions of buying the property and paying off the taxes.

This is a great starting point for me - If I understand correctly - if you are able to find a home that only requires $15k or less in rehab costs, you can roll that into the FHA 203k "streamline" without having to get a FHA certified contractor?
