Not exactly a baby step.

You didn't mention if you have any initial repairs.A detail that might be missing is how long and reliable your financing is. 

Hi @Ashli Addison, welcome to BP and the REI world, yes i agree there can definitely be an information overload with educating yourself in REI, but its good that you are now jumping to take the next step and get some forward motion on your business, while you will never stop learning taking the first steps and making real progress is a big accomplishment and one step most new people never take "study from the sidelines" but best of luck with your REI adventures and post up any deals/success/questions you get, we all like to see each other succeed,good luck,jay,

Step children don't want anything to do with the home?

@Nicholas Norris Congratulation on making the first step.

Regulations surrounding this issue are relatively new and vary by state... some states simply list instructions for "cleaning up" the "contaminated" property... the same steps that companies like yours are trained to follow I would assume.

Initially I am in the process to purchase through loans from my local bank.

Reading through this forum is one of our initial steps in trying to determine a way of using that money for real estate investing.

I have turned many initial FHA or Conventional Financing Situations into Seller Financing Situations because I took the time to listen to the Seller and ascertain why they were selling and their needs. 

If a Realtor gets a few listing from the leads, and then later had a closing fall apart and they need an investor to step in and close the deal, they will probably contact you.
