I enjoy the guaranteed rent and higher rents than most regular properties with a "normal" tenant.

Happy to provide you with references if you ever decide to try it out in Memphis TN.

By "business account," I’m referring to setting up an LLC as well as a business bank account.My goal is to expand my real estate portfolio by acquiring approximately two properties per year.

Please let me know if I can refer you to my contacts to discuss. 

If you are out of state, who connected you to the contractor and what references did they have?

Homes that get more winter weather need a different level of upkeep, but nothing more than a regular home needs that is built for their specific area.

From there I’ll make regular calls to let them know which properties I have available.

Finally, you post that your market is super hot for buyers, but then you don't mention what market you are referring to. 

We work with investors regularly.

Since this is my first go around - I'd really appreciate advice on the following:- any references on lawyers /firms to work with to go through the Barment and foreclosure process without breaking the bank.- Ball park ranges - what can I expect the cost of this process to be?
