My advice in this type of question is to consult with a real estate professional or financial advisor can also help you make informed choices about investing in that particular area.

Therefore, I figured I would come here to engage with professionals who actually do have a good amount of experience and/or success/failures in this area for any guidance, advice, etc. 

On time, called to confirm. polite, professional.

I want to be appropriate and professional, so its great to get your feedback.
