THE best websites is the county government websites.

@Robert Gilstrap In my admittedly limited experience, Section 8 prospective tenants in Atlanta don't care about the asking price, since they will only have to pay what the government's formula says they can afford based on their income and family size.  

", are these permitted sites (i.e. did the health dept or other governning body indicate the additional units are possible with the current zoning) and if so, what is the utility connection situation for those additional 6?

@Chris Sullens  As a general practice, if you don't know that the wholesaler is professional, credible, and honest (either by previous dealings with them or their reputation in the investor community) I'd definitely want to see their contract (you can tell them to redact the purchase price if they don't want to share it) so I know I'm not wasting time.Regarding earnest money, I'd never hand it to a wholesaler - even one I trust (they could get hit by a truck, etc.).  

@Tyler Haskell - Commercial lending is indeed friendlier in the sense that there are much fewer government regulations that simply restrict you to do or not do something in black and white terms.

The county government is all involved in this house.

Sometimes historic properties can allow you to claim tax credits while renovating.If the value is significantly affected, you should talk to your attorney about suing the seller for non-disclosure / fraud and damages, especially if there are written documents from the seller that the home is not historic / governed by special codes and you can prove they knew it had restrictions.

Public and Private Asset Managers such as BlackRock invests billions by buying packaged properties from banks, mortgage companies, and the government on an institutional level.

I truly appreciate your honest comment, which (unfortunately) confirms my concern, and provides further insight.The following site also has a nice overview of how safe, from a seller's perspective, are various payment methods: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Payment_methods (Note: I have not the faintest clue what a bitcoin is, but they seem to have the same problem that we have: safe electronic payment methods.)In summary, I conclude that there is no suitable electronic payment method for rent collection, that is governed by the rule of law rather than the judgement of private intermediaries the rules of which can be gamed, and that cannot be reversed at will by a smart "professional" renter.

There is a skill to logo design that involves capturing the identity of the company and establishing credibility at a graphic level.
