Throw a month long process and credit report and start over, that makes a lot of sense

I was able to amass 8 SFR rental properties...got distracted with a nightmare flip in late 2015 / early 2016 (I posted about this awhile back)....but rebounded after that setback establishing processes, systems, relationships, and confidence one property at a time. 

I'm looking to purchase some multi family rental properties out of state in the mid-west(arkansa or ohio) and I'm not sure the best PROCESS I should follow in choosing a management company. 

If so, what was the process?

Is it worth the money and is knowledge practical enough to pursue development process?

I have set it up where I will be responsible for the title policy as it is my understanding that this creates the need for only one title policy in a double close and not two (of course need to confirm with title co) during a process like this.My questions are this: -What to watch out for when doing this, are there are any legal issues with marketing a short sale like this?

I like that play the best personally.Unless you make an offer on the note that is just too good to be true or a screaming deal.. then you can do all the work it takes in that state.. it was an eye opener for me to do the one I did and it quite the process ..

I think it’s definitely a learning experience in general because I’m in the process of changing my mindset entirely.

We are going through the process of getting the HELOC and loan to purchase at the same time.

I'm feeling pretty good now with the tan tub and the slight curve... quarter round will do the trick and I might have over thought that one in the process of overthinking the white tub.
