Many people have managed OOS properties on their own, but it is more difficult and you would need very good processes in place and have some sort of boots on the ground person in that market to put eyes on the property and check in with things. 

For those of you reading this who are not familiar with the area, Westgate is sort of a diamond in the rough of 43204.

Before the virus hit it was really tough to get into a multi family with any sort or contingencies (financing, inspection, and the like).

Sort of like when someone inherits property, title passes per statute. 

Also, I am wondering if I need some sort of permit to do this, whether for putting up walls or renting out?

@Christopher BrownAre you allowed to re-Id new properties if you original 45day selections falls through?

However, they are very selective.

We did all sorts of service work for their MFH and my old boss never made them sign any contracts.

My target is to utilize the BRRRR strategy and find distressed properties to build equity since I work full time in a different field as recommended in the Greene book.While looking for houses in my local market, I've seen a few houses that need work and I'm looking for guidelines or a playbook of sorts on what rehab projects are best to add equity to a house. 

The policy does not tell you you have good title, only that the insurer will reimburse you for you covered actual loss.I believe the contract will also provide that if you accept a title policy issued by the title agent of the Seller's choosing, the Seller will pay for it, but if you select a different title agent you will have to pay for the policy yourself.
