Will have to speak with a lawyer or local zoning specialist to see what my options are.

Shopping around for specialist is going to be difficult, and time consuming (holding cost is going to be higher as well, fyi).

Before picking a market, I recommend that you clearly and specifically define your objectives and what kind of return you are looking for, then find the markets that best help you achieve that.

I dont mind spending the money to do good due diligence but i have had bad experiences with home inspectors in the past missing things so I was thinking of using this money to get in specialists for the items that I am worried about (electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, and Foundation) The roof is brand new on the home so I am not worried about that and I can judge the useful life left on the water heaters myself and the Plumber can give me details on that when he is doing his walk through. 

So far it's been good, auction.com has been quick, contract was signed by both parties within 5 days of winning the auction and they set our closing date for the 31st, we we're assigned a closing specialist and other then providing our lawyers info for closing 3 days ago I haven't heard anything new.

A deal starts to makes sense when it reaches your return objectives.

I agree with @KJ L. that you need to identify what type of investing you'd like to do in either or both of those cities.I have been to both of these cities and found approximately 15 properties that have been contacted that I would like to get under contract, to wholesale.My objective is to wholesale first and build up some capital reserves, then eventually to buy a SFR to fix and flip.

@Jonathan Hagedorn Your objectives seem aligned with putting the LLC in the property.

Avoid the "shiny object syndrome" by narrowing down your niche as soon as possible.

As an investment property specialist and investor myself, I started to search for a  new model that would allow us to provide our investors a healthy return while being able to return their capital.
