It sounds like you're working without an agent so I'd hit up a lawyer for an hour of their time and make sure you've got an out if you so desire one. 

If FoxConn happens it is so big, it does not matter where you are, ripple and displacement effects will raise the tide for all boats in the greater Milwaukee metro area.

That said, you can always go out and hire a lawyer to transact the property if you've already identified one and have an offer accepted. 

Hello,I got the loan docs notarized in my lawyer's office but the title company refuses to accept them as they only work with notaries they've selected themselves.

Find a good inspector that is trusted by professionals in your area and get a good pulse on the effective life of your big ticket items (Roof, HVAC, HW heater, etc.) and calculate out how much each will cost to replace, then do the math backwards for what you need to put aside for CAPex and maintenance. 

Do you think I could arrange this myself between them without the need to get a lawyer involved?

I don't think I should count the missed principal payments as cash flow because that is in effect reducing my equity in my property, but what about the interest I would not be paying for those two months?

The issue is that he will be effectively "removed" from CONUS and not able to put hands on anything while gone.

I will likely contact a lawyer if we officially agree, but thought I would pose the question here while it is just a thought.
