Hi, I've recently joined this group, and am looking forward to insights I may get regarding my rental property in Castle Rock,CO.

Places like, Memphis, Little Rock, DFW, HOU, SAN or even OK.

Your tenant doesn't want to pay by the first, so that's a red flag.

In the past, I've done some out of state purchases [Memphis/Little Rock] through turnkey companies.

Don't answer/engage if they are repeately bothering you, which is another red flag and negative on our scoring system. 

They then found out the basement was rental that all they had to do was paint it red and they had another rental. 

Second, the neighbors accusations mean little to me except as a red flag to look into something.

I have a place in Little Rock that I pay $1220 a month for the mortgage, and I still owe 25 years on it.

I'm going to go with the other posters who bring up the red flags about them and assume they may not be legit.

The benefit of the outskirts of town: easier to find new place to build, land is cheaper, still in the path of gentrification and appreciation due to proximity to SLC market, no HOA to deal with, much less permitting and red tape, and these lead to new builds, which has the benefits of maximizing costseg and minimizing maintenance and repairs because the build is brand new.Happy to discuss by videoconference if you want, and I can pay you for your time.
