I was to pay on the existing mortgage granted which was due WellsFargo Bank.

Yes you could litigate and argue that the divorce decree granted him ownership yadayadayayda, but that would mean you/his children would have to sue ($$) ex wife to GET TITLE BACK.You husband should hire an attorney to have ex wife sign a deed giving him title to the property.He/you should expect pushback from ex wife if she is not a nice person or bitter, which means he may need to go back to divorce court to enforce the original court order.Good luck.

You *might* be able to get some grant money/low interest loans, etc. 

Toms river, how ever is a much better area in my opinion because u can do a flip from december to jun which is pretty much the average time on a flip anyways about 6 months and hit the hot summer market and sell within a day or 2 Granted all of my flips in newark would sell in 1 day, 10k to 15k over asking no matter what the season is but in my opinion those days are over very shortly. and trust me u don't want to own a house in newark (certain parts) vacant for very long.Also being a contractor and investor i heard some horror stories in Newark with people renting.

I've been following Grant Cardone and learning a lot from his content.

The home has had some repairs done to it, probably needs another 10-15k in repairs at most, I haven’t walked the property yet, but the owner granted permission to walk around the premises.

Worcester just announced a program yesterday to provide grants to both de-lead, and improve 2-4 unit properties. 

Granted, the owner started way too high at $1,850,000.

I see a variety of this question every few days 3) My goal for 2019 is to get 400 doors (no associated Net cash flow dollar amount for those 400 doors, I guess they just want to get the 400 doors, doesn’t matter if those 400 doors lose $100 a month or make $1 per month) just get the 400 doors. 4) Grant Cardone says getting as many doors as fast as possible is the only way to invest or you're wasting your time, How do I get a lot of doors quickly (No Net dollar metrics asked in many post like these, just how do I get a lot of doors quickly is the main question asked) 5) I just closed on an owner finance deal of 80 doors, It’s 20% occupied and I have 5 years before the balloon payment or refi takes place, I’m going to rehab all 80 units and raise rents to market rent levels.
