Anyone who had a agent referral that deals with this type of old property can get me a better quote.   

I have a good agent I've worked with for years and letting him represent me not only gives me the advantage of additional counsel, it also gives me someone else to do the heavy lifting so I can concentrate on the deals themselves rather than the intricacies of the actual contract, the process of moving everything through closing and all the hiccups that often come with investment properties.

I’m trying to buy with as little money down as I reasonably can with enough to use towards bringing down that interest rate and keep cash reserves.

All advice is greatly appreciated so I can grow and learn and then be able to do the same for others in the future. 

Most of the time the categorization is simple enough and I can do myself.
