I would ultimately like to automate the business so that my physical presence isn't necessary all the time.Right now, my hang up on living in LA while investing out of state is that I am still paying my ever increasing rent.

Smaller banks are more personable (at leas what I found after venturing out) and you can get to know who the loan officers are so when you have questions they don't mind helping you.Recently, I was searching for a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) and went to a smaller local bank that just happen to have a presence in other cities, nothing like Chase, WF, or BofA but nonetheless they have a small presence.

If this cannot be enforced before my purchase-God knows it will not happen during my ownership. 

they raised ours to $85.00 /Yr to pay for extra police presence. 

I'm ready to reach financial freedom for my family and I with God at the forefront...Excited to rehab, wholesale and become and property owner (Buy and Hold)...I ask for ALL advice and encouragement...Be Blessed #TeamWorkmakestheDreamwork

I pulled up the carpet (thank God there were hard wood floors underneath).

Without a physical presence in America and a limited internet connection, I fear I am incapable of garnering a foothold without being conned.

I am highly factual and that is why I believe in god but thank you for attacking my beleifs.

I find volunteering my time and sharing my God-granted skills is the best way I can give back.

And if you cant even pick out a decent realtor, how on gods green earth are you going to pick out a good contractor, electrician, roofer, etc?
