My family has 5.5 acre Farm in South Eastern PA.

You are correct, it is toxic and will never go for par, though with a good borrower, with a high credit score, and payment history, low debt to income ration, are a part of a higher resale value.

As long as the deal is solid, you won't have too much issue funding unless you have some bad financial/credit history.Even in that case, you can get your history cleaned up but it takes some time.

(Taxes are pretty rough around here, this actually being one of the lower tax regions in the immediate vicinity).Roof was a complete tear off in 2014, but I'm definitely going to need to do the due diligence on the mechanicals (and capex/maintenance history).

They have a deep history of experience over time.

I have a long history with the market and my realtor who has been with me since the beginning.  

I also wonder how difficult it might be to chase down rent if his cell phone is disconnected due to his history on that.

Most major investors require you to hold the loan for a certain period of time for a few reasons -buys them time to sell your loan on the secondary market -bankers lose their commission if a loan is refinanced with another investor/lender within that 6 month period -required vesting is part of federal regulation  that keeps an individual from essential making a living by doing constant cash-out refis -if you refinance or pay off the loan in the first 6 months, typically you will not incur any pre-payment penalty..but the bank does and it eats that cost-required vesting allows you to establish payment history that shows on credit 3.

Will I get only the background check information, criminal history and evictions?

I googled it and the neighborhood didn't look all that bad, but I did see that from the history the property was originally purchased for way too much in 2007 and it lost almost half the value.
