So, your argument is there should be some trade off...your having to deal with leaks for striking several of the lesser items they are charging you for. 

I've been educating myself and saving up money for about a year now and am finally ready to take action!

Good luck and I hope this helps you decide to take action. 

Hope is a not an action plan nor will it put money in your pocket.

If the heirs disagree or are fighting the court will require that the PR get court approval for all actions.

., one big issue is that using your model of "flipping" you will not be able to use the 1031 exchange so you need to put ordinary income tax + Self employment etc into your proformas to make sure you can still get the return you want.1031 exchanges are for property that has been held for "productive use in business trade or investment".  

Now it's time to take action!

I did already take some action by finding a cash buyer , but I need to get some info on things like how to properly figure out the repair costs, what I do step by step when I find a good deal , how to know how much I sell the contract for , etc.

It is true that FCI will act as a "clearing agent" for the trade.
