Brownsville, TXPlease can you suggest a few more or see if these look good?

You raise a good question, and probably an excellent one for a CPA.  

You will need a great set of contractors, a good realtor who understands investments and a really investment friendly mortgage broker.

I'm not concerned, but it's always a good idea to have cash reserves.Our Lake House was perfect as an escape and still have fun stuff to do while staying away from people.

Do you have experience with any good lenders that provide this loan?

Tenants can range from very good executives at Abbotts & officers at Great Lakes to some of the sketchiest tenants.  

We are interested in Mobile County and the Huntsville area.We are from CT, so we are requesting your assistance in finding ~  a good Alabama real estate attorney, and ~  interested investors for quick flips (initially)  We welcome advice and feedback to increase our knowledge of this state and those counties.I appreciate it!

Of course, with all things, the answers to all these matters will depend on the circumstances.California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.

Based on my five minutes glancing at those links (CA is more relevant than San Diego), it seems in your case as long as the plumbing is in order, you aren't required to make the repairs.Best wishes and good luck.

It takes many years of work and experience to become a well known listing agent of choice at scale (and continued good execution to maintain it).
