to my knowledge plats or subdivisons are recorded at the court house.. as in the original subdivision.. 

Often they are not too knowledgeable of the property at all. 

Me, personally, I'd rather pay for only what I actually get, and I'd like to see who I hire get paid for what they do - no extra money, and no losses.Does line 5 (exhaust hood) include the hood itself? 

The rent should be high enough to over all of your expenses, with extra. 

The knowledge they gained far outweighed the cost of the flight and hotel.

Looking to connect with a few to gain more knowledge.

Where is that extra $20K hiding?

One big advantage of a seller financed note is that, in the future, you can try and negotiate a lower payoff amount If they owe what its worth, you don't get that extra bonus in the future.

So in 5-6 months from now you could have an extra income through cash flow of $2650 Dollars per month. 

I would make sure you're knowledgeable on Maine's landlord-tenant laws regarding security deposits and the risks associated with renting to a smoker before following through with any of this.
