Interestingly enough there are people that work for construction and remodeling companies called estimators.

Hey yall, Ill shoot some DMs out to people on this thread, but our company has been hosting a monthly meetup specifically for BP people for the last 2 years.

However, one of the downsides is that if you're going to use a property manager, you have to use the on-site Property Management company in order for your guests to get access to the community amenities.

I invest out of state and the escrow companies typically will use some form of eSigning. 

In terms of other activities, you should make sure to line up the inspection, title, escrow and insurance company ahead of time.

Work with a good property management company who will get co-signers from parents (parents are typically paying rents) and be flexible around subleasing, especially during summer periods because students go home and do not always stay for summer time; this can still be a 12 month lease.

It’s like the automatic debit method that some bill companies do.

Hi @Robert DeForge and company,I'm in Northeast Ohio, and was in Milwaukee.  

You should check your state's laws but in Florida, the title company makes sure to verify the seller's identity after we open escrow.

You don't need an attorney, down here we usually use title companies to transact the deal.
