@Benjamin BlackburnThe petitioner that files for the probate often ends up being appointed administrator (no will) or executor (will).

Hopefully, your local Section 8 administrator works the same way.

At the extreme end, possible unprecedented Presidential emergency powers the likes of which have not been seen since 1960's school desegregation cases or actions as extreme as those taken by the Lincoln administration during the Civil War (blockading ports, destroying or taking over newspapers and mass media, arresting governors and even congressmen, etc) and later during Reconstruction in the South; Wilson during WWWI, FDR during WWII, Bush and Obama post 9/11.

I have Associate of Arts (AA) degree in accounting from RCTC and Bachelor of Business Administration Degree from Winona State University. 

Ability to avoid administration fees over time if you make regular investmentsThe IRS has agreed that the investment structure is legalCheckbook IRA Cons:You have to do all the work and manage the books.You are responsible for understanding but more importantly following the IRS rules.Risk Tolerance - No case law has been set to determine if the ongoing management of the LLC is prohibited.

When we did our $220M raise we reached out to a couple of groups who charged an administration fee for travel and also a per investor fee in the back end (worked out to be roughly 1 - 2%.

Your employer probably has a 401k administrator that would handle those tasks while with a Solo 401k you will take care of that (with the help of your Solo 401k provider if they offer such assistance).

The longer you wait the more expensive the appraisal will be, establish the basis ASAP and I agree with Dave, this should have had this done by the Administrator or Trustee through probate approval. :)

Fannie Mae is who insures FHA loans in case the borrower defaults on the loan, meaning the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) will cover the loss of the loan lessening the risk for the lender.

It'd make more sense for you to send anything to an executor or administrator than directly to the decedent's house.You could perhaps instead target probate attorneys and let them know you buy real estate from estates and explain how you can help them.
