Perhaps one of these experts can opine: @Amanda Han  or @Steven Hamilton II Thanks!

Mr executor, the best way for you to get the most amount of net cash to your heirs is to get a real estate expert to fix it up and resell it. 

I am no expert here but I believe there is something called a "due on sale" clause in your lenders documents.  

Do not be misguiding by other investors that say "why pay a commission"Your paying for an expert no matter how much you think you know we're apart of a regulated industry and a lot of information is available to us not you.

I have only used a VA for minor admin tasks so I am no expert.

I'd love to hear some advice from the experts on here about what type of property to buy and how to get started.

Not a probate expert, but if the son is the heir there is no need for him to "buy" it. 

Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to bestow upon any lien, mortgage, or certified judgment of record on April 1, 1992, including the lien for unpaid assessments created herein, a priority which, by law, the lien, mortgage, or judgment did not have before that date.So unless your HOA lien was filed before the first mortgage was recorded (and I can guarantee you it wasn't), your HOA lien is not super in any way that matters.

Once you have become an expert in that market, then think about adding an additional market to your footprint.
