The local zoning attorney who you see on a lot of cases online for the government website or in the newspaper generally knows the odds of success and how the local body sees things.

I also used them to perform a few maintenance issues, which was paid out of the security deposit and 1st months rent they collected at the lease signing.  

Hi,My wife and I run an online retail business with extremely high "earned income".

The original lease would still stand, but you can have them sign an Addendum just to acknowledge the switch of ownership of the lease ( you) and where payments are to be sent and how they are to be made out, or if online payments, how to pay. you can not physically change the rent and i wouldn't bother re writing it on your co. letterhead, that would be a waste of time and a headache.

If you just buy a turn key building chances are it will appraise for around the same value you paid for it, unless you are in a fast appreciating area.

Any recommendations for good online RE school would be really appreciated.

The deed was not transferred, until I paid the contract/house in full, on 9/26/2016.  

Utilities are separate and paid by the tenants less the yard maintenance and snow removal. 

BP is a great tool for networking online...may not help as much with investors in your area, but it's a massive network.

Mostly this is due to the sell of a home in 2014 that was recorded as a paid foreclosure.
