I see another user recently asked exactly what I did. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1174768-attem...I also have an FHA loan.

You will find it most useful to attend a couple of local real estate meetups, because that's where a lot of seasoned and new investors hang out :) Here's one that I host every month, usually for newer investors like yourself:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1163449-are-...

If you were trying to give personal advice or constructive critisim about something that is off topic than a private message would have been more... to use your word professional.

You brought up a topic I wanted answers myself.  

I am a former NASA robotics scientist, so I too am uniquely qualified to answer any topic on technology, and data.

@Steve K.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/1181525-spre...Doesn't anybody realize that this thread basically shows how the seller gets shafted? 

These tax credit servicer/admins are more specialized and they are working with specific projects so investors will have little interaction with them.I was a Commissioner of our large PHA here in Springfield, so that's the reason for my background on the topic, being an administrator/commissioner is an appointed position by the local government entity that "sponsors" the PHA, in my case appointed by the Mayor of Springfield.

I would recommend reading/listening to a few books on the topic.

I've never heard anybody complaining about that or use that topic as a buying criteria.
