The situation is my moms long time neighbor ~20 years passed away of old age, I didn’t know him personally but grew up just a few houses down and said hello daily on my walk home from school, normal neighbor stuff.

Anyone with any international properties reading this?

Another thing that you can do is get a job or intern for someone in the RE field.

Me, I love this stuff. 

Your main role is to ensure that the level of stuff is not causing maintenance issues and that you can get access when you need it. 

The IRS has stepped up their hiring of top-notch, ready to show their stuff, graduates in accounting as new auditors.

intern for a high producing real estate agent.. 

Of course you don't want to send salesy stuff, instead send something that anyone will find interesting (85% to 95% of people in your sphere are likely not buying or selling in the next year anyway, your info needs to speak to them). -- Anything that helps them increase the value, safety, or enjoyment of their real estate - or their future real estate - is a no-brainer.

Unique" house is never good from and appraiser's or lender's perspective.You first have to make sure the renovations that were done to the house to make it feel like a 3 unit were permitted, see if any internal obsolescence was created when the "apartments" are closed off etc... and then see what the zoning will allow. 

I still feel fairly lost with what some of this stuff means and was hoping just to get some insight on it.
