The mortgage servicer can still pay your bill from that escrow account. 

Tele-services will workI need someone that understands real estate and how to navigate through it when it comes to taxes

Here's my train of thought on this: I'm interested in investing in Baltimore but live in DC proper, so while I can go there, I don't think I can just wander around to "explore."

Canada Post has a mass mailing service.

I’d never seen “commercial” and “portfolio” used synonymously.My understanding was that Portfolio just means they loan their own money and service the debt themselves.  

customer service is poor, and once you get added to their email list it's hard to get off of it. 

Many architects have quoted me 50 grand for a project because they charge by the sq ft or it say it is "complex" and I ended up paying 10k for the same service.

I have definitely considering and plan on implementing much of what you said as I build my investment portfolio and business.At this point I have a Deal In front of me and I am trying to train my brain to think, how I can get this deal.

Here is the public records request form:http://www.kcgov.us/services/prrform.pdfIf you look at the line just below the signature box, it reads:"I certify that the information reviewed or received will not be used as a mailing or telephone list as prohibited under Idaho Code §74-120."

Thanks for your service.
