Buyers that do not have physical boots on the ground often get taken for a ride -- see for example the "turnkey providers" and various threads lamenting that experience. 

A $48,000 quote is so ridiculous I am hoping you have a physical copy of it that you can post for us to see.

Does anyone have a recommendation for how to wholesale if I am not physically able to be at a property?

Hey everyone,I'm trying to get things working for buying my first rental property, and one of my challenges is that I am an out of country investor, which means that the cash that I have for my first deal isn't physically in the states, and it's not in dollars.

Looking at possibly putting an offer in but from what I can tell( I am relying on pictures, apparently the tenants don't know it is for sale and I can only physically look at the outside??) 

One of the other question was why didn't I perform an inspection, and why doesn't the loan require an inspection, to which my response was I felt that I didn't need an inspection because I knew the history of the property being their neighbor as well as I saw what was repaired when they listed the property for sale, and that there are no loans that required buyer to have an inspection done as well as there was an appraisal done on the house where a property appraiser saw the house physically. 

Even if you have someone give you a rough estimate from photos that's still not good enough.You need "boots on the ground" in Greenville that can physically go check out the property for you.I would start looking for referrals for a great GC and/or property management company in the area.I've spent a decent amount of time in Greenville and like everywhere there's areas that are better than others.

It all depends on the current physical and financial state of the park and what makes sense. 

"Damages" does not have to be physical damages.

Hello, I wanted to reach out to see how other independent landlords collect application fees.I manage the property from out of state, so physically being at every showing is impossible - and I don't necessarily want to tip my hand that I don't live in the immediate area to prospective applicants.
