The only legal advice anyone should take from an anonymous stronger on the internet:  Talk to a lawyer.

I wish I remember where I read or heard this from so I can give them credit, but  simply say "its amazing what you can find on the internet these days" and then laugh right after and most people just chuckle with you and say ok.

The App was Signed by a BILL BIGGS and signature did NOT remotely resemble a BILL BIGGS.The app said it was from an "Affiliated Mortgage Lending" company based out of Texas.

Hi again,I have thought of providing cable and internet, but honestly don't want to be the one they call when it is down.  

May be a good place for you to learn and network a bit. ( I have no affiliation with the REIA)

As others have noted, many companies have cheap pay-as-you-go plans that have no continuing cost if you allow your minutes to expire.If you want some phone service while not at home, get a cheap phone and then get a Google Voice number or a free number from RingTo, which will let you make and receive calls free from any wifi hot spot, such as McDonald's or Starbucks.For an extremely cheap home phone, assuming that you have Internet service, get a box from Obihai for about $50 and pay $12 a year for 911 service.

Downside - there is a lot of "B" grade office space avail   (Though as I alluded to earlier, one building owner has completely turned his around over 4 or so years) and is 80-90% leased.7-9 psf is gross lease, full service (ie internet/phone electric, etc is all included) -- I'm sure you could do triple net but per my market research that might turn people off and you'll need to lower your rental rate.  

In a day and age where you can find almost anything you need on the internet, attorneys offer the real world application that a standard form document does not. 

Really good communication is the key and using all the resources on the Internet helps immensely.Learn as much as you can about any market you want to invest in.

You need to rebuild the credit, a counselor (not a bankruptcy attorney) can address this route.Learn RE from credible sources, RE schools, take a local college course, get a text book that Agents use to pass the exam, in 3 weeks you'll be ahead of most on the internet or chasing some system.
