It seems that my best bet is to contact the title company and see what they can do for me, is that correct? 

Hi @Christian Armstrong -  I bet you find one here on BP. 

friend of mine is doing this in portlandia.. look at the big developments I think in the netherlands or other parts of Europe they are away ahead of usAlthough my buddy is more of a philanthropist with this particular endeavor he even donated a fully functional one to the collage... although he hopes to some day turn that around and make them viable financing for himself as well.. but i bet he has spent 250k or more on this so far.. all for science / construction lab at the collage

A real estate agent would probably be the best bet for a smooth transaction.Not being from around there, but having visited that area, it feels like it's in between two markets, Charlottesville, where University of Virginia is, and Richmond, our state capital.Would you mind sharing what the address of it is?

Ultimately she ended up physically assaulting him.

I bet they charge $500 or $1000 to write a final closing letter and to start a new homeowner.

Starting off with house hacking seems to be a good route if it fits your lifestyle...anyway, I bet you've come across the White Coat Investor blog/website...in case you haven't seen that yet, it's really good for MDs.  

As said above, your best bet would be private money.

There are so many things that can go wrong if you are not physically present to manage contractors and ensure they are doing what you think they are doing. 

Even if you aren't getting title insurance, I bet it would be very hard to find a title company to close this transaction.
