My investing strategy has done a 180 turn (no more inexpensive Class C properties) and to buy a property in an area with good schools and low crime, regardless of state.

we would be down to about $ 2600 in expenses. 

The bad news is that there is no part of the game that's inexpensive, and much of it involves fair chunks of time for approvals. 

They make the lame excuse that managing the tenants properly will result in expensive vacancy costs.

These "hipsters" are young college grads who will live in areas that are (A) relatively inexpensive, (B) low or trending down in crime, (C) close to attractive civic amenities, and (D) are close enough to jobs. 

Sure, all of the stuff can be found for free, or relatively inexpensive through books, but I am someone that does better with a little structure.

The most inexpensive title work is probably from property onion.  

Credit reports on individual principals are rather inexpensive and title abstract and examine are not more than a couple hundred dollars.

The attorney we use charges $800 for uncontested and $1,500 if contested. it's not wise to look for an inexpensive attorney when its hundreds of thousands of dollars at play.

Hi @Ryan Dunn - the easiest is just to ask a few brokers that are active in the area, you can also simply attend a local real estate investors meetup (a lot of them are free or very inexpensive) and let folks know you're looking to offload your inventory.
