Perhaps a visit to your local bank or credit union to see what you can qualify for is a good start.   

It prevents emotional knee jerk reactions to market volatility and world geo political events.

I've been searching for a while here on BP but have not found a thread related to my situation:I've been renovating and renting a property for just over 2 years and may be in a position to sell/close in the next 30-60 days.I am trying to cut-off major projects at this time to make a clean break, however we have committed to replacing windows in one of the units (windows are already ordered), with total project lead-time of 45-60 days (windows have been hard to get for the past year).In the event we have a closing date PRIOR to window installation, how should we handle paying the contractor?

Given I can't join any local meet ups, I was hoping to connect with people who invest in Toledo.

I was also working on the inside of a good-sized local mortgage brokerage and had a direct link to their business.

Would a mega plant boost the local economy and real estate market?

I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how to start, and if anyone could recommend some local title companies/ attorneys , that do closing deals with wholesalers.

I don't think the people running the local show give a tinker's damn about you, and probably more than one local multimillionaire muckety-muck wants your land to grow wine on it.If I were you, I would let go.

I had a great series of interactions with a local financial planner but several months into our relationship he admitted he was just too busy to get to me for at least another 6 months.

You seem pumped up to do this, but do it first at a local meetup (in terms of connecting with people) or else you are just going to get a bunch of people trying to sell you services or on how good they are.
