You need to know what your financial capacity is, and it doesn't take a Realtor referral to walk in and talk to your local bank. I've engage in Realtor referred professionals, but my bank is a key partner in my financial matters. 

 If he is the legal Executor, the property has been probated. Ask to see the grant, or search and pull court dockets to confirm. Pull the foreclosure documents to see if redemption still exists, and if so, write him an offer for clear title. He may need help with an attorney, and you should use one for specific language. If redemption has expired, your offer then goes for judicial review, along with any other offers.

 absolutely not. As you say, one leads to another, so in effect you would be investing in your demise. I would notify the cosigner, reminding them of what the penalties are. They cosigned specifically to smooth over thier dependents shortcomings.  I also suspect that you might be breaking the law if you don't hold the deposit, as a deposit. In my area we have to hold the deposit in a trust account, and cannot use it for any other reason.

One of my home inspectors warned me a few years ago that you should always consider yourself under surveillance.

one thing I learned along the way, was that it is easier to go somewhere, rather than leave somewhere. As you focus and prepare for your new career, the pains of today tend to dissipate. You have a good paying job today, milk it for what its worth. 

Far too early in my opinion. I had looked at a couple of systems but went with a precast wall system. That was a few years back, and since then, the plant has expanded into structural beams. Very happy with their performance. 

buy windows follow sales windows. It is time to shed your poor performers. Really good deals are on the horizon and a flush account puts one in a very good position. 

I have an electrical masters designation, which is required in my area to pull electrical permits. This is above the national electrician trade qualifications. Although I can pull permits, I can’t actually do any work without being licensed as a contractor, with insurance coverage. I can pull a homeowners permit, but only if I reside in the property. The same holds true for plumbing and gas work, although there is no owner s permit for gas.

Unless you are a resident home owner, you will not have a path to permits without substantial investment, or sub contract.

Any good photographer will have a portfolio. Send out a request on Facebook, ask for fee structure and a link to their images, and of course, references.

As a Realtor, you want listings. As a seller, he wants best price. MLS list it and start looking for your next listing.
