You may want to pay an attorney once, but really it gets you nothing to pay for each additional transaction.You can get free mortgages/deeds of trust by downloading from county clerks websites, but then you have to type them up.Since the promissory note is private, you’ll never get that from a public filing.It is legal for you be your own attorney and "alter" the docs by removing or altering the names, address and parts of the legal description of the former note, deed and deed of trust.Perhaps the most crucial thing to get correct is the deed to make sure you have a good legal description.That is easily obtained by getting a copy of the deed that was filed for the current owner, just change names.Since the loan is a friendly loan, in my case essentially from myself, if there are minor items that are not perfect in the note or deed of trust it really is not important since I am essentially lending to myself.

That's kind of a question about the 'look' of the house, so it's pretty impossible to have a real opinion from a written description.

Understand what constitutes "vacant" and how your coverage changes if and when your property meets the policies description of "vacant" general 30-60 days with no people workers or stuff on site.

Singles are relatively cheap to appraise, but a multi-family can be upwards of $500/door :ouch: Neither - Commercial building I suppose that description was unclear.

As a first post I suppose a broad description of my goals is appropriate-My wife and I are looking to break into the rental property market at a fast pace.

I attempted to research properties, mainly in the IE, Riverside area, but the property descriptions were difficult to discern, w/o the background and no experienced person to reference, I didn't pursue it further. 

After you find the owner/previous owner name at the property appraiser site, you search the official records by owner name; it will show mortgages, liens, etc. by legal description.
