One suggestion is to make a trip to the courthouse and actually talk to someone.

Georgia makes it really simple to set up on your own and it saves you a ton of money! 

If not, I recommend commissioning one and only taking their counsel on tax-specific questions.I have a list I keep updated and recommend through our REI bookkeeping firm if you don't currently have one.They can walk you through exactly what you can and cannot write off during these trips and what you need to document in order to write things off.It's not necessarily a simple "yes" or "no".

I would suggest reaching out the companies that market assumable mortgages for them to answer how hard or easy it is.   

I hope my suggestions help good luck to all.

I would suggest they understand various strategies/methods to invest in real estate and then let that drive their next steps as opposed to the dollar amount they have to invest.

Great suggestions, thank you.

You can usually find some events by doing a simple google search.

Really simple things that should have been easily taken care of by customer service but I could not get them to understand the problem I was encountering and it would take days to get a response.

Just a suggestion by the way. ;-)
