No, he's not an architect, he drew all designs, floor plan, site plan, etc, and we had a structural engineer design his part, and paid an architect to sign off on them.  

I'm on a call now and they same decent and honest, but some reviews on here and other sites are a bit concerning.

Not a lot to add here, just the simple advice to make it as easy as possible to pay rent. 

A simple example, can anyone describe 3 ways to profit from an owner having an encumbrance to title?

Is there any good resource with links to the relevant sites in particular states/counties?

No point in paying someone to do a simple task (yet) so no it's not taken time from me - well maybe 5 minutes. repairs will come and we will fix, but that's why we do our due diligence before we buy so we aren't walking into major repairs 

You can find it through the MNREIA web site or email me if you have any troubles.Type @ and the first few letters of a person's name to link.

I recently came across a website called RentToRetirement.com, which helps buyers purchase turnkey investment properties out of state.I was wondering if anyone here has used this site to buy a property.

There is a free web site you can list your section 8 rentals on. 

Simple.
