question depends entirely on the area you are investing in.

@Abdul HafeezRates and LTV depend on many factors. 

Depending on the value at the time of death and your basis you may need to file a gift tax return.I would speak with a CA attorney to determine the best type of deed to file and a tax professional to gather more information.

Agreed... depends on your skill level.. if you have no experience at real estate other than maybe buying your personal resi.. and want to venture into this I can't see how the course would not be a good use of funds.if you have 20 years as an experienced investor or real estate broker then the course maybe is not needed.. but the contacts I am sure are worth every penny..  

Your credit score is high enough to get something done, but whether or not that delinquency will fly is going to depend on the lender/underwriter.

Sorry, I can see offering a discount for a limited time only, after which the price goes up to whatever the full cost is, but NO reputable seller/instructor is going to literally only give you a total of 10 minutes to make your decision.Sixth, depending on the market you are in, and the specific deals you find, $10,000 could be a ridiculously small finder's fee.

I would like to pull out equity from the homes to build either a house on each or an ADU (they are zoned multi-family) depending what makes the most sense on returns and what is feasible.

As far as timeframe, anywhere from 21-45 days depending on how quick a borrower gets their docs to underwriting, how long the appraisal takes, etc.

It all depends.

If the client is in CA the community property state laws may help here (not entirely sure) depending on when the property was acquired but it would be a great question for an attorney as Jason mentioned.If they were married and went through a divorce it would be worth looking into how the divorce paperwork stated how that property would be handled.
