I believe many contract out to the same sales company to deliver there pitches. 

Write as yourself, not a company, and tell them you are trying to buy your first property in your own backyard and would love to have a conversation whether they want to sell or not (they probably know someone else).

- Lastly I would also consider recommendations for a company who offers HELOCS (NOT cash out refi) for rental properties.

Despite the fact that my decks were up to code when I bought them I have had my insurance company do inspections and make me install lag bolts on many things that are in my opinion fine.

Hello,I have invested in a few properties meant for long-term renting.I have also since started a rental property management company that operates in areas we know very well (ascendiadynamics.com)Porto and Lisbon are very expensive areas at the moment. 

I would suggest contacting companies for each trade and get an average bid from each sub. 

We paid them 9% interest (they put a private mortgage on the property) and give them 19% membership interest in the holding company LLC How did you add value to the deal?

Another angle to consider is to look for turnkey companies that are selling completely renovated properties and have also bought down the interest rate.

Its not near any major cities where someone might look at it as a long play for path of progress.Another option might be to see if a solar farm or wind farm company might be interested once its clear cut. 

The city's macroeconomics is looking great - lots of population and job growth due to the booming tech scene and many companies choosing to move and develop here.
