I'm not personally associated but know the folks and highly recommend them.

Me personally, I'm hanging on to this and refinancing when the rates come down at some point. 

RE  Mortgage banker etc.2. criminal and credit back ground checks with redacted personal info IE SSI. but you want them to know your not an ex felon or did not pay your child support etc.3.

However, I just reached the decision to sell it an hour before posting this (so that part of the process has barely started).I have an eye on a specific property I really want, but it just went up today and already has 32 saves on Zillow.

Don't take people's rude behavior personal.

I also love it here.It will cost $100,000 and we will finance half with a personal loan @ 7% for 3 years.So im putting 50,000 in cash and I expect to earn about $2,000/month.

Also, any tips on how to expedite the process would be much appreciated (i.e. getting signatures for notification from neighbors in person vs. sending certified mail, etc)Thanks in advance!

There is also space to park 4 cars.I will be back in the area early May, so if this sounds remotely appealing, we can chat further on a call or meet in person when I am there. 

Should I meet them in person at the new builds ?

Personally, I would start hitting the education piece of real estate investing hard.
