Travel to get the feel Once done with 1 and 3,  fly out in the area and spend few days to drive around neighborhood and take notes per home/block/street on what I feel.

Sometimes lenders will want a letter of explanation from you explaining how you plan to manage the property if you're not local, but they don't all require a property manager.

I've studied Rent Control, which is just a subtype of Nixonian Price Controls, and they are always a bad idea, they always produce the opposite of the intended outcome, with run down "slums" as they are unprofitable to maintain at submarket rents, If you read the whole letter, Biden actually has a better idea later down, which is a massive govt' push at fed and state level to increase production of new housing stock at all levels, using tax breaks, incentives to developers, thus eventually lowering rents or at least slowing rise to let incomes catch up.

It’s part of the agent's duties to make this clear in the purchase agreement or the buyer's brokerage agreement.Clarification: The broker you met with was likely emphasizing that, according to the letter of the law or the standard contract language, the buyer is technically responsible for their agent's commission.

For at least half of nearly forty years life I've lived and invested in property within a block or short walk to the beach in South Florida, Southern California, Southern Oregon and Northern Baja Mexico. 

Or, buying a Duplex and renting one side out then renting the other rooms out in the side I would live in.I have spoken with two lenders and both have given me pre-approval letters for up to 270k purchase price, with 15k down payment, conventional fixed rate loan, 30 year term.

As an example, the highest designation (MPM-Master Property Manager which I have) means that you have to have practical experience (you need 500 unit years- meaning if you managed 100 units, it would take you a minimum of 5 years), education (24 hours minimum of formal classes- or 3 days for this designation) as well as letters of recommendation from clients as well as peers (other MPMs) and you have to invest time in the property management organization be it locally, state-wide or nationally over YEARS.So the designation process, including those that are in their candidacy, takes a lot of effort and you grow through the process in many ways including wisdom (a lot actually)! 

Letters and post cards work well if they are prepared well.

Our plan is to sell or refinance within 15 months targeting a sale price of 3.5 million.This property is two blocks from the beach and has a high demand for short term rentals.
