Renovations and dispositions before the financial world fell apart…As my partner and I both realized we didn’t have a lot of interest in running the operations of our real estate investment company, we began the process of preparing to sell what we acquired.

Most title companies and closing attorneys these days want wires in my experience.

I am interested to learn more about this opportunity and invest But I am located far (Canada)Can somebody share contact of person/company who might be able to assist with this ?

If a hilltop home was a potential purchaser's goal these are some estimates we got for professional work:Getting power to the hilltop will cost about 50-60k according to the local power company. 66k for overhead lines, 52k for buried (not including trenching). $3600 for a septic permit & design about 50k for sitework (very long driveway), though foresters have noted the potential for NRCS funding for road improvement and invasive species management (i.e. clearing the 8-acre area which has blackberry bushes galore) which we are in the very early stages of looking into. 

I preferred a duplex, but the market was too hot for me to compete so I bought a big house and converted it to multiple units so I can live in one and rent the rest.

We plan to move forward with the sale either way and I have recommended the mother to seek representation, but where I'm lost it, why would anyone, prefer and eviction over Cash for Keys?

A warranty company not covering a claim?

I would contact your local title company and get a straight answer. 

For example the contractor had to replace roof or do other repairs to make the property rentable and I spent 2 hours talking to the roofing company and plumber? 

I’d recommend going with a local lender that you have a good relationship with as opposed to a large national company as they are likely to have better immediate customer service and are more likely to respond in a timely manner, which is important for your first loan.
