That said, I will still try to provide some “clarity”.Purchasing a property “subject to “ the existing debt can be done two ways.  

I own and invest in Birmingham and would be happy to connect to share insights and introduce you to contacts in my network.I also work for a local property management company that serves many out-of-state investors.If you come across any properties, I’d be happy to provide rental analysis reports based on comparable rentals to help you evaluate potential investments.Looking forward to connecting!

Most of my experience lies in the longterm rental property world, but we just picked up a short-term rental in Vermont and are going through the process of getting it ready to go.The property cost about $415k, and my insurance quote for homeowners + liability was about $4k, which seemed high to me.Obviously insurance quotes vary greatly by policy, but wanted to get a sense as to what others were paying and what provider they used.I am used to long-term rental policies, which seem to be less expensive.Thanks in advance!

This 'consultative' approach means their business clients come in talk through problems and they try to provide a bit of outside business 'coaching' if you will, or connect you with another client who can assist.

I'm looking for the cleanest & most visible way to access payment history, see amortization schedule, tax documents, etc- much like bank softwares provide. 

Contact the utility provider and get a historical average based on the last year of use.

Even if the rental has a decent cash flow with additional flood insurance, we're still not sure we want to take on that risk as we are out-of-state investors (planning to move back to KY in the future, but not now) and we don't like that it will potentially bring down the perceived value when we try to sell it in the future.The seller has never lived there and has not provided any information on if it has flooded before or not. 

I can provide support of checking in on contractors, staging rental properties, walk potential leads to give you an idea of the property in person or what the area is like, meeting with agents, and drafting scope of work for projects. 

Partner with a real estate marketing company out of Las Vegas or Provo, Utah to market, promote and advertise the “mentorship” system consisting of the free seminar, followed by the modest fee weekend workshop, followed by the $15,000 - $40 000 full mentorship program.Here are the usual results1- 99% of “students” never earn back the cost, despite 1000s of wasted hours2- students learn nothing of real estate principles, real estate finance and real estate law which are the necessary foundation blocks of knowledge necessary for a SUSTAINABLE career in real estate investment 3- with hundreds or thousands of “students” unleashed on the real estate selling public they’re AT BEST an annoyance of trying to do “unrealistic” deals, AT WORST lead to a disastrous result for vulnerable homeowners.4 - The career real estate investors, service providers, brokers, lenders, etc are so disgusted with all of it and the outcomes they see that that can’t even comprehend that the subject technique or strategy does have a legitimate use when utilized (1) by and experienced and well capitalized buyer and (2) full disclosure is provided all parties with legal representation.
