I did none of it online as Zillow is a joke when it comes to rental rates in my area.

Make sure you account for holding costs and you will probably have to go with an FHA 203k, also be aware the farther in the future your sell date is, the harder it is to predict value at that time. 

It's been almost 4 months past the expected completion date.

I have access to the full deed database online in my county. 

I'm looking to start going to a few options and luckily my state has all deeds, liens, etc listed online. 

If you have the date of death, then you can go to your county vital records and get an informational copy of his death certificate - if this is in California.

They come out every year a week before expiration, know where each extinguisher is and the size and date, and either tag or change out as necessary.For bulk purchase under 100 pcs, I'd call a fire suppression inspection company like those that inspect.

I am not suggesting this is the only issue but I have seen some listings in the area with horrible photos online which usually is the first impression.

You can always put it into a trust then make the trust beneficiary an LLC at a later date.3.

So my assumption is that 01/16/2018 is the date it was recorded.
