However, my concern is that if I purchase all four as separate entities (which I think is the smartest way to go so I can sell later with no problems), the closing costs of each individual purchase (total of four) is going to be crazy.

But, my concern is what is the " statutory or legal duty of the servicer" and can I put the loan pay off back where it was prior to the modification without paying for a fraudulent loan.

@Ethan Schneider, as you become familiar with the questions that Lenders will ask you, you'll realize more and more that it's their comfort level that you need to concern yourself with, as well as your own.

I've been pretty good about doing most analysis and communication by email up until a property seems viable enough to walk, but hadn't thought of tracking my computer time to hyper analyze hours spent....probably have burned quite a few figuring out the methods of data collection and analysis.

I had been concerned that they would hike the tax base to offset presumed tax base losses elsewhere in the county, but that didn't happen. 

Well, direct mail and bandit signs both cost MONEY; whereas cold calling is free of expense other than TIME... and if you are targeting the right persons to call, it should not be too long before you stumble across a deal that then gives you some money to add other methods.

The fact the company stayed on for 6-months after the sale shows they are at least somewhat concerned with the quality of their product. 

I know that the fact it hasn't sold is concerning, but what should I do? 

I'm hoping you all can help me understand if I should be concerned.

I have been trying several different methods of acquiring properties in Myrtle Beach, SC but nothing is really bringing in deals at a consistent pace.
