Who did you end up choosing and are you satisfied with them?

We know that as a function of getting that loan, all other superior liens would either (a) have be satisfied and paid in full or (b) subordinated.

Did you tell the bank you will pay the back rent once all repairs are satisfied?

But don't over improve and when deciding on what flooring/fixtures/finishes in your price range, go for the most durable!

With my current earnings, it takes me about two years to accumulate a new property because (A) I need that much time to save 20 percent and to show rental income from previous property to satisfy DI ratio, or (B) it takes that long to qualify for new owner occupancy financing and also show the two years rental income from previous property to satisfy DI ratio.I hope that when my wife graduates her income will help with rate of savings and I, in turn, will also be making more money.

Yes, those should be liens on property and the title company is responsible for ensuring that existing liens are satisfied before anyone else is paid from the transaction.  

I also see ASSIGNMENT filings, along with S-TR and FORE notices in the last year or so it's pretty clear to me that unless you can show evidence that the terms were satisfied, you run some risk assuming that the seller statements and presumptions are correct.

Not that profit is important to me, but I would be satisfied knowing that the rental income is covering most aspects of the ownership costs. 

I actually just started trying out Intuit this month and so far I'm satisfied with it. 

I think your 250 letters a week plan is a better start than none, but obviously you'll want to increase this over time once you get everything down pack.I get my leads from listsource and am always satisfied with the results.
