For myself in MA I did a cash-out refi with Salem Five bank in 2016 and it was easy and they had very good rates.You'll need to work with the bank to go through the process, it's basically the same as getting a mortgage so you'll need to provide the usual litany of documents like recent pay stub, current mortgage docs, bank accounts, they will pull your credit report, etc. 

It needs to be a basically complete and functional home.

Here are the basics - the property owner registers the property with the city/county it is in (the county is usually always looking for good landlords and decent housing). 

I have seen signs where the letters are so thin from a basic marker, makes it appear like nothing is even on the sign.

But basically network and educate yourself.

But just consider the basics of what that person earns and the stresses that come with that income. 

She basically said she would "sell" me the house at cost where she doesn't have to put any more money into it (making any more mortgage payments, closing costs, etc).
