They were so nice and professional during the set up step.

It always amazes me how few agents do this so nice job getting in that mindset!

My line of thinking is, the chances of an uncovered disaster are outweighed by the benefit of increased cash flow.

The best way to explaining this is for you to download an IRR calculator spreadsheet or build your own simple one and play around with one.For what its worth most deals I deem meeting minimal IRR standards is 13-15% but you have to dig a little deeper to uncover the real placements of cashflows and capitalization events... and then dig even deeper to verify the assumptions such as occupancy, rent increases per year, and what reversion cap rate was used.Again I don't look for IRR cause its manipulated a lot instead I look at total return on a 5 year basis.

So nice to read about the options and out-of-state possibilities.

Always get an inspection, most issues with the property will be uncovered then. 

My decks are uncovered (though in the local lingo the front entry deck is called a porch!!
