- I have been told it is easier on sellers to use a standard real estate purchase agreement from office depot as it is not intimidating to sellers and it makes them more comfortable, what are your thoughts?

If it's interesting to you and makes sense, then pursue some Additional Education on the topic and get with a local REI attorney and title company in your area to get all your paperwork set up once your comfortable with the process.

If you're just trying to have the properties all paid off free and clear before you jump into the next one then go ahead and pay it off if it makes you feel more comfortable.

Figured with the steps I am taking to get myself back outside of my comfort zone it was time to start interacting with the community. 

I just was not sure if there is some other resource or avenue of investigation I am missing that could give me some level of comfort on this issue (again, short of sweeping the property since I do not have access).  

The other key feature is a comfortable place to sit and relax.Full outdoor kitchensFrom $15,000-$100,000, they include refrigerators, grills and sinks.

The hard money lender has seen the property and comfortable lending on the whole thing. 

Only work in neighborhoods you feel comfortable in and those that attract the type of clientele you can work with. 

Since I had bought and sold quite a few of my own properties already and was comfortable with the contracts and the process, it wasn't too much of a stretch for me to help others buy properties.
