Your best bet is getting the heir to agree to sell.

He bought it in 2021 so I bet it's low.

Who wants to bet it's 6%?

Keep us updated on how you're progressing. 

I was told this would be an ideal package for me and would allow me to progress at my own pace to self learn about what I would need to to to maximize my tax deductions and would most likely include entity formation at extra costs. 

If you already have a pre approval for FHA then starting locally with a house hack is going to be your best bet.

Getting a local realtor to give you and ARV would the best bet but you can use sites such as Redfin (be careful of Zillow's Zestimate) to get you in the ballpark. 

Measurable goals allow for tracking progress and reevaluation.

I have documentation of my call logs and all of the failures that took place while work was in progress.

Hey @Chance CovanIf you're exploring options beyond traditional financing and haven't owned a primary residence for at least 12 months, starting with a bridge loan might be your best bet.
