The windows are bordered up and sometimes i see construction workers go in and out but not enough to the point where its is going to livable in the next 6 months.

@Jacob Huelsman call Borders and Borders.

I’m currently working on a deal a state over (I live near border so still just an hour away) do I use a closing attorney in that state for transaction?

I have zero formal mentors but I have “informal” ones.  

New carpet and tile flooring with black marble borders and baseboards, new paint throughout, new window coverings, new light fixtures throughout, mirrored walls, new sinks and faucets, and new appliances throughout.

My initial hope was to invest in Canada to avoid complicated tax scenarios, but I know members of the BP community have had good success with cross border investing as long as it's structured correctly.I'm looking to work at least 1 more year overseas, but I'd like to start transitioning into investing over the next 12 months if possible to do so from abroad.I'm really excited to enter into this exciting industry, and hopefully work with some of the great real estate minds here on BP!

If there is another formal complaint, I will evict them.

Is there a formal letter/format of a form that I should send to them introducing myself and my contact information that someone could share. 

There are professionals who have spent years picking up a lot of little things through formal training and learning by experience.
