They most often need to get there engineer out to the site, check city zoning, city restrictions, water and sewer access ( this varies wildly from site to site). 

I am not a agent so I do not have full access to the MLS has anyone had experience with this type of data aggregation?.

Is there another way I can keep the money I owe her easily accessible in case I need to do early repayment like a Heloc?

Hello,We are about to close on a REO sfh that needs total rehab in 70068 Area.Property: built in 1953, SFH 3/2 1260sqftNeighborhood: Class B,Average comps ~ 120k within 5mile radius ( no homes sold in the same block) Rental income around $1000-1300Cash buy for $35000So far I have one GC that has quoted me about $55/sqft to completely gut the interior, roofing, plumping, electrical, flooring etc.

A few things I didn’t mention in the original post:- I’m a licensed Realtor and have access to some additional tools and services - background check, zip docs, etc. - my mom, also a realtor, lives close and is “managing” the property while we’re away. - the tenants: long story, but they are the parents of a pregnant neighbor, who is a RE Agent too.

This can help you access quick financing but beware that the onerous terms can be tricky to manage if your rehab projects goes behind schedule.

I would love to chat with y’all about real estate, specifically ways to make it happen when you don’t have access to lots of money, but you do have a strong drive and a great work ethic.

Oaklyn does have a small "Main Street" besides the White Horse Pike, even though it really only runs about 1/2 a block (Clinton Ave) with a Brewery and Coffeehouse. 

That seems to be a big road block for my  operations?
