Just google something like "Banks in Mississippi" and chances are one of the options on the first few pages of google will be the link to the state government website you're looking for.

But you can only use non-recourse financing, which typically requires larger down-payment, depending on the balance of your 401k and the purchase price, this may or may not work for you.

@Joe Platyan I represent landlords against non-paying tenants and am not aware of which laws you might be referring to. 

Sometimes putting a non threatening note on the door helps, which says something like “I am the new owner and would like to help you move.

I have seen some charge a 1-3% disposition fee and some non at all.Also for the management fee 1-3% is reasonable. 

I would advise you check with your local assessor and see what square footage has been recorded on public record.
