Hi AllWe have reached a point where we have maxed out the capacity of our current (and most trusted) contractors. 

You need to determine the capacity, powers and level of authority that seller(s) have as the person in charge.In CA, the court document which will best identify those powers is called 'Letters' however they may referred to by various names in other jurisdictions.With these Letters you can determine if court confirmation is avoidable or required.If required, many attorneys want to review your offer prior to his/her client (the PR) signing the agreement.

Therefore, this will effect your DTI and borrowing capacity.

Each are usually at or just under full capacity at any given time.

I've heard of people using google docs (somehow), globiflow, click2mail all in some capacity to do the mail merging and mailing of the letters.

They want someone competent, licensed and with a demonstrated capacity of successful prior projects to perform the repairs such as gutting a bathroom and kitchen using skills like plumbing/electrical/tiling and basic carpentry.
