While we really need to improve our search, I was able to find a couple of members you might try reaching out to and learning from. 

I am even more comfortable having several family members in the area which I visited annually throughout my childhood/adolescents and every couple years now as an adult.

There are a couple of new home builders that are offering attractive interest rates to investors.

@Nikhil MascarenhasA couple of years back, my wife and I set up a very in-depth asset protection plan.

A couple other thoughts:1.

With recent rate drops though I have notice that competition much higher than a couple months ago.

that is a great way to get started.you should also find all the meetups within a couple hours and go to all of themhope this helps

Why not refi them individually with the same lender or a couple of lenders.

Also, I probably know that the owners is going to have to come out of pocket with thousands of dollars in the next couple months, including a fee for us to place a new resident. $100-200 in this scenario is an easy chip-in for us when a situation goes bad to ease the owner burden slightly.

A couple things you might look at is examine your local market and see what the other like kind properties in your area have that yours doesn't.
