There tends to be a good amount of hard money lenders that aren't great at their job, so I would really make sure you do your research because there are some rockstars out there! 

Since this is a bigger project than we have done before we plan on hiring a contractor to do the major work; demo, framing, electrical, plumbing, and sheet rock.

I have seen deals that would work in westover ( near i-79 neighborhood) and star city areas.

I actually first started looking at investing in Little Rock, but switched to DFW because my friend that I’m planning on investing with is from the area, so we figured that would give us a slight leg up while we’re just getting started.

Residential real estate investing is all about solving people problems and magic spreadsheets and finding your rockstars.

Rock bottom prices and ability to do short term rentals How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

They have good deals and the guy working for them in Quebec is rock solid. 

It is not realistic to change the date of the treatment, as other tenants have prepared and made arrangements, and also we don't want to wait as the infestation will worsen.I am feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place. 

Yes, being in a similar timezone is a major plus, I'm currently dealing with other parts of the world for work and the time difference can be a real pain to get things done.For sure I will have to do a few trips at first to find my "rock star team on the ground".First deal will be all cash and hopefully it will help build my credit back to what it once was (rehab purchases...)Regarding the documents signing, I had imagine that by now it was possible to use a web service like Docusign or Hellosign.
