It's sustainable business.As far as I am concerned there will always be a place for both good clean rentals in nice buildings and first time or the downsize priced property.

The condo is extremely clean and well kept almost like the tenants were specifically brought in almost like a staging.The owner says they might be interested in staying on after I purchase the property but there is zero chance I would keep them in the condo without a new lease.

The acquired building were over 100 years newer and had more modern/desirable features like central air conditioning, integral garages, and fireplaces.Another time I 1031ed property in a distant town for property much closer at hand and easier to manage, it also commanded higher rents.

We took it off the market for a week and half, got it cleaned up and ordered new appliances.

It may have been easier because we were military at the time, but there are some civilian services as well that may help you if the consulate or embassy are too far.If you have a trusted business partner and can wire the money ahead you may also be able to establish a limited power of attorney for the deal that is restricted to terms you have already agreed on, and only for that deal.

Get your credit cleaned up, get some cash saved up, then think about buying a residence if that's what you want.If you're determined, I'd be upfront and offer the asking price (or a bit more), no money down.

Easier to give directions if we know where you're headed.

I spoke to the city and before the closing I will need to have a licensed contractor send a bid to the city to be approved on all of the problems found on the city inspection report, which includes a bid on everything from putting in a smoke detector to cleaning out a gutter.
