I'd imagine I have a referral code or something somewhere if that's helpful for you, might get you $ of your first box or something.

What type of help is there for down payment?

I would have been told by someone about index services (with correct hours) before spending $40 in postage to overnight something to Springfield.Hope my experience helps a fellow investor.

I contacted the city, but the inspector wasn't very helpful.

Hope this helps.  

He built a great thing that helped a great many people.

This will help guide your decision opposed to investing somewhere for a novel reason.for example for me it was cash flow, price to rent ratio, land lord tenant laws and availability of multi-families(Just to name a few). 

Happy to recommend and help however I can. if its rural is it hard to get lending or something I'm confused, I'm new to this so rn I'm learning It can be.

I am also a local Realtor for an amazing investor focused realty team that helps our investors from start to finish and beyond with their investment properties.

I personally haven't done this but I have helped clients do it in the past.Hit me up if you're interested!
