Lastly, if I want to become "B" in the scenario as an investor, what are some of the techniques used to find "A" seller and "C" buyers quickly and promptly, in order to arrange the transaction?

@Grant Music I just knew I could flip houses and I arranged my first deal (no money down) without my husband's knowledge because I knew he'd give me all the arguments against it.

We are still in the early stages of research and are looking for any resources that could help give us a better idea of market characteristics.

The realtor can/should identify possible homes that might fit the criteria of the buyer - assuming you're going to retain them as your buyer's agent - and then arrange for *you* to view the homes.

I'm in my planning stages and I want to figure out what is my best course of action.

We were looking to create a promissory note in which would allow us to buy into each other's personal investment property after the refinance stage.

I have not interviewed PMs yet as this is still in the beginning stages. 

An attorney attempted to arrange a loan modification, and advised my mother to stop paying the mortgage payments.One thing I did understand correctly was the gentrifying trend of the neighborhood, and the house has since appreciated in value to around 890K(adjusted comps analysis).  

These numbers represent what would be required to payoff the Hard Money loan and get all your cash back.Totally agree with @Nghi Le regarding getting Refinance loan arranged first.  

does this land have that kind of arrangement with tax offices?
