Welcome and thank you for your service to our country.

Is it online or do I have to go to the clerk of courts office to ask.

Here's a bit dated resource but there is some good information in here on costs across the country on new construction: http://www.mnhousing.gov/get/MHFA_1016268  Costs in general are up from since this report was completed. 

Price points are much lower there and the annual tax rates are better than many areas of the country.

I am J.D. and I do a ton of travelling around the country and have recently become interested in real estate.

After the 30 days it can only be vacated based upon certain Maryland court rules.

What about the looming issue of the courts ruling and recharacterizing such transactions as "disguised credit transactions"? 

Plus or minus a few thousand, it may be possible for the units to pay for themselves but it does not look like fun.Finally, since I live in Knoxville, if the portfolio is North or Northeast, it is in coal country.

There are tons of very knowledgable turnkey providers from all over the country on this site, so anything you need to know you can definitely find here.If you have any questions about the turnkey model or anything at all, feel free to drop me a line!

Try Pacer.gov its a court document site, I use it for locating recent chapter 7 and 13 discharges.
