I suggest starting with the Washington State Real Estate Commission.

I was told by the Trustee, I could finance the condo instead of buying it with all cash.However, since this is auction property and doesn't allow someone to do inspection from inside most of the lender are suggesting that get a hard money loan instead of conventional investment loan.hard money loans are expensive (12% to 13% + origination fees).Does anyone has done this before with conventional investment loan where you don't do the inside appraisal.or any recommendations for lender who can help achieve this?

Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can do next to better prepare ourselves for the journey ahead?

Specifically what they told me is this (I kept the email):How does the mortgage factors into the distribution and tax forms - We simply disburse the property to you personally, with the value stated on the appraisal, we suggest you talk to your tax advisor regarding the tax formsI have a copy of the distribution form that I signed and they provided, but again I talked to them on the phone and they were clear that 2b accounted for the mortgage.

The key is to be able to stand out.

I feel uncomfortable in my current position to go through the process as it currently stands.

I would suggest a minimum Workers Comp. policy in case of an injury to a uninsured subcontractors employee.   

UPDATE;  First off, thanks for all the great suggestions and advice. 

We as a firm have investors working with us who have rental properties all over the US big and small.Finding a real estate-focused tax professional and one who can help with advisory and grow with you would be my suggestion to focus your efforts on finding.

I'd like to visit an investor group you belong to or one you suggest in OKC.
