To answer your original question, definitely option 1.

I will definitely check it out.

Any offer we make will have an inspection period clause in it for sure, so we will definitely see the inside before closing.

Based on that definition, the answer will always be "yes". 

Alo, I feel like its widely known Legal Zoom and like kind companies are discount options.

I definitely encourage you to visit whatever market you plan to invest in to familiarize yourself with the area and connect with local professionals.

If it is a direct booking then I’d definitely reach out to them.

Competition is definitely lower as well as prices, but distance is usually a factor for most people.

Hey @Alex Jacobs, I'd start by finding a solid investor friendly agent in your local area; definitely meet with a few of them, but ideally you will find someone who has a decent network that can connect you with resources such as a solid lender.

Awesome, definitely!
