The bank they are using with that offer is now saying my site prep bid came in way too high and not approving me (so far. still in process).

I am visiting CC later this month, and will call again this week. 

-We visited in December. 

It wouldn't hurt to set up time to meet with agents, property managers, lenders, and others while you’re visiting your markets of interst.

Before buying or renting in an unfamiliar neighborhood, you should check the following two sites: SpotCrime, AreaVibes,These sites provide valuable information, including Livability Scores, which cover aspects such as crime rates, employment, health, housing, schools, shopping, and more.well, anything can happen anywhere.

I have a big dream to visit there one day; she has since moved back. :) Wishing you the best in your business. 

@Steve Babiak, unless he registered with Pennsylvania as a contractor, he would not show up on there, the company as the OP stated is from NJ where he would be registered. he should be registered in PA if he is doing work there, so i agree, he should have shown up on those sites, i am a contractor in NJ but do not do work in PA, not even my own properties, so i do not show up on those sites.

I plan to visit portugal soon and would like to meet if you would be up for it.

While Facebook Marketplace isn't the sketchiest site (craigslist), I personally would never give my ID across it.

If you have every lived or have family you are visiting anywhere in the Midwest, that's where I would start.
