Investor money (downpayment) came from a paypal software engineer and ceo of a china based pharmaceutical company. while in rehab (super ugly at the time), I rented each unit out for 2800 starting in January and collected first months rent and deposits for a cool 8400/month for the entire building.

I've submitted my offers and the 3rd property which is on the the higher end (200k) has been accepted.  

Hello Investor(s), In addition to searching out your area, it may be worth your time to submit a Craigslist advertisement looking for the right Pro for your project.

Next I will submit the plans to the city for approval. 

My questions to you:Does it worth it to get an inspector and then a contractor bid before i submit my offer?

That is when you submit your claims on the property in question.Sorry, but it is going to take a while to sort it out.

Your agent or his will get and submit the data for your approval

Remote investing is a lot easier with a good project manager and web-based software.

A person that is qualified for the voucher program can apply to rent your home and there will be an applicant and landlord packet that must be submitted to the housing authority.

It helps if you have some reason behind submitting a lower offer and explaining why you think it's worth that.
