I would plug your scenario in to Scottsman Guide's website and call a few of those groups.

Three years later, I was finishing the remodel and a new leak started.  

@Marvin Barrera you can typically go to a local real estate agency's website and they'll have a search engine you can use to look at "for sale" listings on the mls.

I just finished filling out my taxes and it said I owe about $700 for federal and state taxes.

Their website is www.lighthousepropertyins.com.  

I ran across a Real Estate Investor website called https://fundrise.com/.Has anyone done business with them.

@Timothy Yen most likely absolutely NOT, have and we're permits pulled to finish the basement and turn the subject property into a multi family ?

So, if you can find the right city web site, you can then look it up.   

I will however be inheriting 3 multi families (once probate is finished). my wife and me are buying a short sale to live in as a primary residence, well it needs to be approved my the bank 1st. we currently have 1 quote form a mortgage lender with my current state of assets.my questions are 1. 

These are the big-ticket items that can destroy the budget. otherwise, I know what finishes I want to use so I can estimate the square footage based off where the materials would go.
