I've disturbed the soil frequently.

I took over an existing tenant who frequently asks for repairs, or has complaints about the property.

Hi Chris, I get that the most frequent and biggest delays to closing are typically from the originator, whether it is from an institutional lender or mortgage broker.

Yet, I would like to get insights from experienced investors.Questions for the discussion:How frequent do you interact with PM for your apartment building?

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.

-I prefer newer homes / town homes because I frequently travel internationally and thus don't want to deal with frequent repairs.

(As what happens frequently thanks to the rapid changes in technology) bottom line the industry was no longer fulfilling me and I had no desire to rekindle that flame.

I tell them I frequently have same-day check-ins (which is true) and that's the most I can give while still allowing my cleaners to do their job.  

We've been up to the area a few times, a lot to take in, different areas, colleges, hospitals, and the casino's.

With old houses, things break fairly regularly so if you don't have a good local team to fix things, you will either frequently overpay for repairs or get bare minimum fixes that don't last very long.
