Hard to say if the $4500 is reasonable or not, but if you haven't worked with this contractor before or have a lot of strong referrals, I would be hesitant about using his internal architect/engineer. 

I will try Mississippi, have not personally done deals there but a client of mine, has purchase 7 homes in Middle of the state, around Laurensville( I think is the name please correct me ), job in the area are not great, so he has Section 8 tenants. so it works for him and cash flows and vacancies are not that bad since is a older crowd. 

Many of our clients use leverage to purchase multiple properties at once (though the fannie/freddie max for residential loans is 10 at once) and devote all cash flow to paying of each loan more quickly.

Title searches are optional on cash purchases, but strongly suggested (in my opinion)Closing can happen typically as fast as the title search is done.
