I've been investing in the Macon, GA for awhile and while my local community bank in north GA has been very helpful, they feel like middle GA is outside of their regional customer base. 

Semi-custom, All wood, Shaker style cabinets that include  cover panels, fillers, crown molding, light-rail, toe kick, handles, garbage can pullout, soft close dampeners, etc.IN THE ATLANTA, GA AREA

Since our home is a custom rural property with no community services, it's an odd duck and we believe banks not loan on it. 

As a broker myself, the only thing I'd caution is (in most states) all fees and commissions must be paid to the broker/brokerage - agents cannot charge fees directly to their customer and could run afoul of state laws and brokerage policies by doing so (I am not licensed in Washington, so this is a generalization - not specific to your State).

Their customer service is pretty terrible but the prices are hard to beat.

Do what the local custom is and make it clear to the buyer what the net offer price is.

I’ve found one fairly distressed property that has been on the MLS for a while now, and is labeled “MOTIVATED SELLER”.

USAA > Navy Federal for mortgage customer service.

If you as the landlord don't pay the taxes and they get posted by the tax authority that looks horrible to you as a business because the customers think you can't pay your bills.

Building houses is great but there's alot of money in building custom kitchens and bathrooms as well.
