The prices are good there so I know it is a safe bet, but I may want to diversify into other markets.

It seems like hard money is your best bet if you can qualify for a regular loan after I don’t see why not.

Both of these are looking more at the cash flow of the asset versus potential appreciation.  

Meetup.com or the Events tab would be the bet resource for you. 

Not to mention a couple of $4.00 coffees a day and no clue what brown bagging is.I'd bet that most college grads spent more time learning the ins and outs of student loans than budgeting and financial planning.  

Talk with a local lender.You'll likely need 6 months to refinance.I bet you can do better than 5% on the refi.

Your best bet is to use an agent, but sign an agreement with them agreeing to pay their commission.

When it flows via a k1 you will get a bump in your debt to income ratio when working with Freddie/Fannie products versus the standard page 1 carry of your rentals.

I plan on keeping it forever as a rental so I didn't care.I can clean up the title later if I choose to.Exactly until you get a title report  or prelim title report or title commitment whatever moniker they use there.. its just all guessing that title is clouded.. plus a recorded purchase from 2 or 3 years ago.. i bet will easily be removed by a new insurer.  

But since it's an abandoned trailer park in Georgia, I"m betting that's not the case.
