I would recommend attending some training sessions organized by the local realtor association with which you plan to align yourself with to help network with the local agents and familiarize yourself with the local loan officers in the area (these events are usually sponsored by the local lender branches) and the start to finish process in the RE transaction.

I made the initial walk with a GC and have his quote but am looking to see if I can run some options to stay on or under budget!

However if there are no descendants or lien holders to initiate probate proceedings, is it possible for an interested third party such as myself to do so?

I was initially thinking one of the light gray vinyl plank choices, but wondering if that would clash with the existing flooring at the transition (by the breakfast bar in the photos) Any advice would be appreciated!

@Cody Lewis @Coty Dolan Not to derail from Coty's initial question...but I would be curious to understand any instruments to use when receiving private funds from a lender?

@Mario Casarez sorry I am just now seeing this post but you mentioned something that is really important in your initial post - you want to use the HELOC for the down payment? 

A "Full" BRRRR is usually referred to when the entire initial cash investment is pulled out at the refinance stage.
