The previous owners had allowed certain key aspects of this property to fall into an UNSAFE level of disrepair.

Companies offering LTC plans have been under financial stress because medical costs have risen faster than expected, which means those you bought it from a now-bankrupt plan have nothing to show for the premiums they paid.

Generally, they will only provide between 65-75% LTV so the less you spend on purchase price, the better terms you get with the lender.However, the hard money lender will likely need a portfolio to lend to you at those levels; they will not be willing to lend to anyone. 

Magistrate filings are faster and cheaper and don't require attorney representation, so most small-time landlords file there.Cobb population is also around 700K, and there are waaay more than 5 suits filed per week.

Is there a faster way out there, that Im not aware of, then just sending a letter out to each house that looks run down from the outside and crossing my fingers??

Prevent moisture that causes your pretty stuff to deteriorate faster.

I would like to connect with people who I can partner with to help move to the next level.

My first question would be:  is this one-level living? 

@Chaim Kernkraut, your experience, comfort level, and risk acceptance will determine the answer to the question.
