It's really easy to create stressful and costly problems for yourself in this game, and as an investor, your time is much better spent learning and working on your next deal rather than trying to find a handyman on craigslist who will pump water out of your basement in another state at 3am. 

Needs some new windows in the near future but overall the previous owner had set the home up pretty well with a nice big newer bathroom, solid countertops, hot water heater and recent siding.

Maybe you can do a joint venture first in NC to test the waters and build your team there.

On the pricing page, it's mentioned that PRO perk is to get free RentRedi software, but on the member perks page, it's only a 40% discount.Has anybody successfully gotten the free rentredi usage?

If you remove the water source and clean the mold, it will not return. https://www.epa.gov/mold/brief-guide-mold-moisture-and-your-...2.

I don't know the cost of your fridge, but my CPA would simply expense it.The funny story is a rehabbed a house, bought appliances in a refrigerator, hot water tank and depreciated the entire rehab over 27.5 years.  

I thought I'd squirrel some money away in case of a big ticket item like water heater, roof, etc. 

Even if you buy it at appraised value EVERY single investor that buys at market value is under water day one if they have to sell.. transaction costs will eat into the market value..

Run your company the way you like, but when a company moves away from their founding principles and starts to alienate their core; they usually have some rough waters ahead. 

@Shawn Mcenteer has good advice as MTR may be more safe, but also longer stays which would restrict your usage.
