Idk if that will help at all... just some of the mounds of information I’m trying to sort through in my head. 

But yes, you are definitely correct that I will want some sort of lease in place asap.   

Do it and brace yourself, always make sure you aren't going to lose money and have some sort of buffer.4. 

All three are working-class towns, but look at the crime heat maps on Trulia to sort that out. 

Assuming this discussion is sort of like a job interview, I want to impress them so I can get the best rates and work with the best lending team. 

(eg, when login to the app, you can see the deals you entered in the web, and vice versa) It already defaults to including most of these sort of expenses like CapEx and Vacancies.

I found one called ( Rainbow Knolls) old subdivision platted in the 20s but because it was under one common ownership  ( 104 lots) assessor on the assessors plat map showed it as a 15 acre tract.. we made an offer like it was one building lot.. then we got our HML to put 104 individual loans on each lot to the tune of 3k per lot we used that 300k to build all the roads and infrastructure.. we recorded each loan individually which caused the assessor to reestablish the plat. without having to go through the platting and land use .. planners did not like it I can tell you.. but now a days out west this is quite common and there are easier ways to do this.. in Oregon for instance they call it a lot confirmation.. there are all sorts of shadow lots lying underneath lots in the city.. takes 60 days and a few hundred bucks and a current survey and you can split lots as long as there is a shadow plat that was recorded back around the turn of the century. 

A cash advance is usually going to be very expensive on a CC, something like a home depot card probably does not even do cash advance.You might want to see what sorts of programs you can get from a lender to finance a flip and rehab, that way you know what sort of down payment you need to bring.

Also it seems like you have experience with this sort of thing.Bottom line: in person meeting to try to establish a personal connection never hurts.Good Luck and please post how it turns out.

So I’m sort of confused at what to do next.
