Every resettlement I participated in was in Des Moines proper, and if that's representative, then a change (reduction) in immigrant inflows would not impact the surrounding suburbs. 

Can someone point me in the right direction by sharing contact information for a representative who works in their group overseeing bank owned properties?  

I would assume we can't buy the property if my wife is representing the client but other than that, I don't think would be any issues.

I prefer my attorney to be close to asset to represent me at closing and serve as my qualified rep for LLC state filing requirements. 

If you don't have employees, that saves you money, but then you are basically living in the coffee shop.I don't know how much you need, but in my opinion, $15,000 isn't nearly enough.I know if I were representing the landlord, I'd want to see that you had a lot more that set aside, unless I was a desperate landlord who was looking for any tenants I could get.I actually have a client with a coffee shop and it's a tough business.I'm not trying to discourage you, I just want you to go in with your eyes wide open.

If you are not represented by an Agent/Broker you have more flexibility in what you can do.

I am representing a seller (as their agent) on a sale on a SFR in Los Angeles.

The pros I have found a few deals being able to access the MLS and I have saved cost on representing myself on purchase/sales.

That would lead you to the sorts of agents that represent those types of rentals.Good luck!
