You have lots of questions. Beyond general real estate issues you 
have local, maybe state issues. You can either become a real estate 
expert for the subject area by spending the substantial time to do 
the research or you can find a Realtor who is experienced in handling 
properties in that area. If at any time your chosen Realtor 
disappoints you, you are free to walk away from the relationship.
