There is a upgraded marketing package that you can pay for $35 (I think).

With all that in mind, I'm assuming that my first step is to create an LLC entity for protection and then have an attorney create a loan package with a note...right? 

I had to book a hotel at same place they holding: Total expense: $1000 + $500 + Food/Toll/Gas = about $1,800ish Schedule : 8:30am to 5pm.

@Kirk Garner here's our standard copy & paste food for thought:).Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

In fact many of our properties are done that way - we get a signed contract and then turn the package over to the closing attorney and move on to the next one until closing day.Your local REIG can recommend some good closing attorneys / title companies and they will usually be happy to walk you through the process and even provide you with the forms you need to get the deal locked up and closed.

Some of the owners in that area own a dozen or more houses and occasionally sell them off in packages.

I would just put a few more snap traps around, seal the holes to the exterior that the mice are using to get in and out (sprayfoam is your friend for this), and make sure the tenants remove any food or trash, water, whatever is attracting them.

A 200lb professional athlete is going to be more fit than an 200lb desk worker that eats fast food every meal. 

Mold requires water and a food source (dust is sufficient), so it's important to find the source of water and stop it.

Ping me if you come to Greenville again, happy to get together for some food and drink.
