The more items you can check off the stronger your position to get the contracts.  

Yesterday I checked out a few properties in Phillipsburg, NJ.

Check out Zillow and other property sites to see what is currently listed, what has recently sold (and for how much), and what recent rental units have been leased for.I'd also try to make it out to as many Local Investor Meetups as I can to have conversations with new and experienced investors near you.

I have yet to check in with the police department about my shortcomings.Above and beyond this, I had a garage fire at my place, it destroyed some of his items, and damaged others.

You might check out REI Nation or Mid South Home Buyers, I think they offer those programs.

@John Underwood can you please check these pictures and advice?

my parent never checked their score, i think they trying to use the health inspec to say its unsafe to live there and unhealthy and we have to pay them relocation fee.

Last piece of advice would be to check out Houston credit unions for the loan.

Have you checked out Padsplit?

Hi Dany, Check the estimated rental rates on Zillow.
