The neighborhood has been flourishing, making this incident highly unusual.What initially drew me to the property was the potential for high rent and strong cash flow.

My vision is to bring together motivated people to support one another and potentially form an LLC for group projects as we grow.If this is something you might be interested in, I’d love to chat more and see how we can help each other on our journeys.

I will be living in the guest house, while renting out the main.Both units are without washer and dryer units, my question is, do I supply them in the main house; or let potential tenants figure that one out?

We've actually previously had two potential buyers come forth, one w/ $20k & one w/ $30k - unsolicited offers that we let get away before we even considered owner financing (or knew what it entailed).

If this job popped up out of the blue, your intent was not to move within the 1st year, so you may be ok.If you are planning on building a portfolio of homes, it is safest to stick in your home for 12 months to reduce the appearance of potential fraud. 

Hiring a lawyer sounds expensive, but it is way cheaper than hiring a amateur (in this case yourself) who costs you money and provides no results (and then you need to hire a professional anyway).My personal philosophy is to "do it right, or do it twice" and its way cheaper to do it right once. 

We worked with a lawyer over there who is a US ex-pat who created and registered a local LLC for us, which owns our properties.

I'd love to see a copy of it as I'm dealing with a potential tenant who's pushing things a bit.

Are there any potential risks or downsides I should keep in mind before proceeding?

Pensacola is a great market for investing and the number of properties available right now is up so there are actually some on market properties with potential.
