Ask the listing agent for a list of known issues.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

I have a close associate with a large project there and the local banks have turned off the spick-et on funding his developments and these are very large multi thousand acre deals.

This would help focus such a call/support for you and hopefully get you more and valuable responses.I would say the blind spots and budgeting is top on my list.

Sending you a PM would love to see your listings

I just listed my last property for sale, a fourplex in Pocatello, because now I focus more on commercial RE and syndications to be a true passive investor and not deal with tenants and repairs.

Paint, floors, fixtures. rents are about 1800-2k, going to list if for 2k once the rehab is done.  225k to buy. 25% down. 22k rehab.
