The key is making sure you have the right team in place—outside of market research, finding a trustworthy property management company is one of the most important factors in making long-distance investing successful.

I’m also in Nashville and run a property management company, so definitely happy to connect.

I know you are pitching your program or software that you want to sell, but I don't think it is really solving the personal contact problem.

I remember some of my staff trying to rent rooms and they would get 70 applications and interview potential roommates in person to see if it was a good fit.

Interest rates need to drop a certain amount in order for a person to make a transaction right now.

It’s important to recognize that your landlord likely isn’t thinking about selling the property right now, especially given their personal circumstances.

Really the person that is going into the flipping game should know the market very well to do these comps on their own, and back it up by asking their trusted real estate agent/professional for confirmation.

There are about 20 companies that do this and more or less take over as the primary lien holder in place of the taxing authority. 

Personally I’ve got 1 tenant in my 8 unit building that occasionally complains that the water isn’t hot.

I personally have found an abundance of deals where older landlords no longer wish to own but do not want to pay the capital gains tax.
