@Zachary SchimenzMy brother and dad thought that hiring a property manager in a bad neighborhood would smooth out their investment.

Be smooth 

So if both just keep their mouths shut and ask them to sign the topa forms with a mobile notary, its usually smooth sailing.Conversly, multiple times Ive come to a property that the deal fell apart because of TOPA, and we can get a better deal on it with the seller willing to take less to get a firm commitment that we will close.

Of course we hope and plan for everything to run smoothly, but every now and then someone wants to exercise their option and this keeps you from paying for more than one appraisal.

I would really like to thank @Melanie Arroyo for making the lending process smooth.

Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

For the real estate investor, a pour-will pairs well with the living trust to ensure a smooth, private transition of your assets.

Hoping for a smooth close, and then I will definitely be hitting the forums with specific questions.

I may be a bit late to the party but Suntrust does both conventional and portfolio lending and I've had smooth easy transactions with them in the past.

Im not letting the distance be an issue because im also in CT and RI as well.If anything, this would be my first deal and I want to cover everything I can to make to flow as smooth as possible.
