So what I experienced may not be typical for others. and 99% of mine also were me paying a big chunk to pull it out of foreclosure.

Find the most meticulous inspector you can.

If you want to do it on the cheap and not ask for any professional help at first (i.e. real estate agent), then just pull up Zillow or Redfin.

I wanted to know what would the best way to pull the equity out a single family that own free and clear.

Just keep up the networking.To give you an idea, in one of our REIAs, there's a really nice guy who's been coming for about two years, helping out, distributing fliers, going to the after meeting dinners, etc, but had yet to pull the trigger.  

I know the city re-assesses certain neighborhoods once every three years or so, but I think since permits were pulled for my rehab, they will come after the taxes even quicker since they know work was done.

I am being very picky to pull credit under my own SS and my business Tax Id as I want to make sure that if it does get pulled I do get approved for something that is over $10k.

On a primary residence you can pull out up to 80% LTV on a SFR and up to 75% LTV on 2-4 unit multi-families.

I think the issue is they dont want to get out of their car when leaving to close it, though they leave it open when they pull in and park as well.I will look into intuit payment. 

It was on Zillow, so instead of calling the realtor they had listed I called someone I knew was a realtor and asked them if they would pull comps on it for me, "by the way this was the first time I've asked a realtor to do this" to see if the offer I wanted to make was realistic or not. so, she messaged me & said she was going to look at the property today.
