First of all, you need to attend the sale in person even if you are not there to bid on a specific property. 

I'd like to get a couple contractors over to the place to give me some preliminary bids and see what they think actually needs to be done. 

This is correct, OP.If you want them both then you can certainly negotiate them as a package, but the residential lender will want two purchase contracts, two appraisals, two escrows, etc etc.

Thank you i noticed most do not bid because they are worried about the entire estate or trust being contacted. 

If I am interpreting your advice correctly, it even sounds as if you suggest establishing yourself with rental properties as opposed to rehabbing with flipping?

It is in my new home state and I wanted it done in a hurry and correctly.

Correct that since your dad is also the beneficiary of the estate, he will not be able to loan the IRA funds to you since he is a disqualified party. 2.

If you were correctly informed, though, I would replace Chase, not my HELOC.

If the person still has not left by the correct day, begin the course towards eviction immediately.

Fred, "Thumbtack" is an app I used on my first deal and have recommended to people where you can post what you need done and local people bid on the job.
