I'm looking at expanding into out of state and just trying to figure out what questions I should ask/data I should gather to make an informed decision!

@Tanner King learn how to work backwards on analyzing a deal, so you figure out the purchase price to offer to make your numbers work.Too many newbies think they have to offer asking price, which is not the case.

If you did a full repipe and gutted the entire property then I assume (in all that means) that there were permits pulled and this should have been caught when the inspector did their rough in walk through or atleast the final occupancy inspection. 

No guaranteed way to stop a determined, experienced thief:(Only deterrents that push them to easier jobs.The roof may be a good idea - until they figure out the just need a ladder to get up there and a rope to lower it down. 

Rough cut lumber they are $48,000.  

LIHTC eligible, opportunity zone, STR eligible, property management in the area….Pretty decent list. didn't know where to start so I figured I would ask the more seasoned of the bunch.

This is a very rough comparison, for Maui island only, but in 2012 median condo price was $356,158.

One thing I’m trying to figure out is how to find good locations where property prices are relatively low, but rental demand is high.How do you identify these areas?

I find it continues to impact their algorithms as they continue to figure out how to attract hosts and guests and it further proliferates and already saturated market.  

It is a get rich slower scheme, but with less risk.How do you figure a paid-off property throws off more cash (per month, yes, but in comparison to how much you put down?)
