It goes beyond just the physical condition of the property although that is very important to know first hand for most too.

Without having to spend a dime on any physical upgrades we will drastically turn the NOI around.

I definitely did not want to backtrack on my offer and lower less but after physically inspecting the property and the neighborhood it was located in, I realized that it wasn't ideal for my investment goals.

Most people buying investment properties frequently establish long term relationships with a lender to save them from having to resubmit the exact same paperwork over and over again, and to keep things smooth, etc.If you're trying to close while physically overseas, I'd also start looking into settlement service providers, sometimes called a "title company" and sometimes called a "settlement lawyer" depending on the state the real estate is in.

While there is a physical asset and a real estate transaction, you are really buying a rate of return that you want to meet or exceed on a consistent basis.

A more stable of building wealth is to have as many rental properties as possible before I'm forced to retire from my physically demanding job, The safer route seems to be to pay off the mortgage rental as fast as possible, which I'm doing.

The first person isn't a problem as a friend of the seller and is about to move as the third person is physically intimidating though only the second person is named in the eviction, for non-payment of half of the verbal lease agreement.
