I have a few questions on how to tackle this deal-Can I offer cash for keys to get the tenants out so I can use an owner occupied FHA loan?

Wife and I are working on ourselves in general while we tackle our total money makeover.

Managing expectations, the order in which you should tackle work and also managing the workload and progress with contractors in place Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

This would be the biggest project I have tackled and only my second rental.

(And Shift: How Top Real Estate Agents Tackle Tough Times by the same authors) I'm waiting with much anticipation for David Greene's books for agents that I have heard teased are coming soon, but I haven't seen dates yet.

Simply looking for some guidance on what I should be thinking about in analyzing this type of deal and what considerations I should astutely include in any marketing materials IF i were to tackle this project.

As for lenders, there is so much capital floating around that a buyer can find a lender who will be willing to lend on an otherwise innocuous looking tank. given how suburban homes are red hot right now, I'm sure there are lenders would be willing to loan against the house.

Handles the blocking and tackling of all transactions and the strategic side of LLCs, Partnerships....etc.Feel free to DM me for an intro.

I've been doing a lot of research about the whole process, but something nobody talks about is the design choices you go with for the interior and exterior of the home.I'm no interior designer, nor have I ever been in any way artistically skilled, so I'm wondering how other people like me tackle this problem. 

I would first tackle getting pre approved, because that will help define your scope.
