I know that's a bit far from you but if you know how to scan and email pdf documents I'd be more than happy to earn your business.

I regularly engage my previous CPA and need someone I can actually bring documents to physically when I have questions.  

Always get a W9 from whomever you hire• Make sure you have them sign lien waivers before you give final payment• Check your city's court documents(public info and usually online) to ensure they don't have any judgements against them• Do not pay 50% up front.

Good news, I found a bank that lends 4.375% (.625 points) or 4.5% (0 points) based on the quote I received this week - the catch is that the property needs to be located in a "CRA" area.

That being said, these are our loan terms: 7% fixed for 61 months with a max amortization of 240 months and a documentation fee of $500.00. 

This will allow your seller to have a perfect and documentable pay history. 

No, no that is bad news bears. 

Try to get every document your lender can possibly use to them before the offer and be as ready as possible.

But the beneficiary will only be listed in your private land trust document.

I would ask to review lease documents, payment history and find out what their tenant selection process was.
