Virginia,I'm with Curt and Belinda, Frank and Dave's model is strong.  

In my business we tend to follow a particular business model.  

Not because I disagree, but because I think you're in such a place in your career/life that you don't quite fit in the general model; drop everything and jumping right in.After working with clients that were exactly where you are now 5-10 years ago, and what i see that is common between all of them is a strong advisory board.

We were two years ago, but our model has changed significantly to better serve our investors.

Even if they did know what they're doing why on earth would someone want to restrict their business model to investors in a single state when they're doing business online?  

Part of their profit model I guess.

Bottom line, pick a broker that matches your business model.

Property taxes are higher in NH, but you simply build the taxes into the financial model when you analyze.  

Market Analysis: (specifically address forecasted absorption rates) All properties are currently rented and cash flowing.

However, that model is not of an investor, nor even a speculator, but of an intermediary.Time will tell whether all parties associated with the seller side were satisfied, however my guess is that the money was well earned.
