It was supposed to be dealt with in December, but I can't find anything online to it being completed?! 

 try one of those online sources like prosper etc. 

I've owned 2 houses in College Station/Bryan (Texas A&M University) for 8 years.

that sits right on the parade routes, a block from the college campus, and block from a bunch of restaurants and bars. 

Also just look online and steal some ideas...I used to Google Luxury Kitchens and then figure out how to do the same for less $$.You'll be fine with your experience.

Right now just working on market knowledge in my college town.

I also want to make sure w seller financing there is an online dashboard i can log in at escrow or title company to track the loan paydown and monthly payments like w any mortgage bank.. did not see that on forums.

Locally my observation is that the need is more for low income young and working vs college student.

There are a lot of websites that offer the course online, or if you have a college near you, they also typically offer a class that satisfies the pre-licensing requirement.

You can do it online or by phone.
