Often you hear things like "this property won't be available for more than 48 hours", this may be true, but being pushed into buying something before you have all the info raises your risk substantially. 

I've read that very heated post on Anderson Business Advisers and the use of a company's services, and used LegalZoom before.

My tenant called and asked me to set up a Statewide Vendor # so that DSHS (Department of Social and Health Services) can make payments for rent on the tenant's behalf directly to me. 

IE there is no customer service department.. title plants are not on line and just a click away like they are on the west coast... etc etc.would help if you actually described what it is you want them to do for you that you consider investor friendly.Boy traffic in AM CAN sure has gotten horrendous..

I was born and raised in the north suburbs and currently residing in the west suburbs.

If we go $0 down, do we need an escrow service?

This purchase will significantly raise my tax liability at the end of the year, as it will bring my income into the 33% plus tax bracket at least.

Or you can always get into the property tax services. 16% interest and fee's here in Ky.

@Michael Minor Thank you so much for your service to our country.

In your case its late on the 2nd, unless that is a public holiday, then you serve it the next day because that's the day its late.In your case with a persistent late payer, I'd try to do a personal service and if that fails a nail & mail service.
