I'm not personally associated but know the folks and highly recommend them.

I also love it here.It will cost $100,000 and we will finance half with a personal loan @ 7% for 3 years.So im putting 50,000 in cash and I expect to earn about $2,000/month.

Also, any tips on how to expedite the process would be much appreciated (i.e. getting signatures for notification from neighbors in person vs. sending certified mail, etc)Thanks in advance!

RE  Mortgage banker etc.2. criminal and credit back ground checks with redacted personal info IE SSI. but you want them to know your not an ex felon or did not pay your child support etc.3.

Should I meet them in person at the new builds ?

There is also space to park 4 cars.I will be back in the area early May, so if this sounds remotely appealing, we can chat further on a call or meet in person when I am there. 

I have 7 doors personally and another 4 with a partner in a two member LLC.

Personally, I would start hitting the education piece of real estate investing hard.

Personally, I don't think you have a shot in hell of assigning the liability to the tile company.
