I would strongly recommend you find a fire restoration company/contractor to walk a prospective property with you and give you a good understanding as to what needs to be done.

Just to second what @Arlan Potter said, spend a hour or so at the City Hall or County admin building, talk with a building permit folks, they're general very helpful, and its a great free resource.   

Would be happy to chat with you about prospects here and in other parts of Hudson County.  

We have been able to get a few deals rezoned and permitted over the last 30 years here. 

I learned soo many things on how the whole process goes from permits contractors watching budget scheduling and even water main taps and sewer issues.

I imagine if your intent is to “assign your position in the contract” then you will probably need to somehow show the prospective buyers the house.

On a Limited 203k, the lender is permitted to issue 50% of the money at closing, but only if the contractor signs a statement saying they cannot afford to start the rehab without upfront funds.

There is raw land connected that is permitted to house 5 additional pads. 

You might do some independent research on some specific topics and then quiz some of your prospects to see how they handle them. 

That's great - good luck searching for rental prospects.
