I'm also starting off my own personal investment property journey with my husband. 

If the RV is not permanently affixed and retains mobility, it is considered personal property and depreciated over 5 years under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).

If you give someone over 19% membership interest in the deal, the bank will usually require a personal guarantee from that individual. 

If you are calling the licensed person off the radio AD a lot of money.

Since your an estimator are the materials and labor based on facts (i.e. hard costs a labor units) or a guess.Nothing personal but I wouldn't consider anything you wrote there, if I was buying I'd do my own estimate/SOW. 

Point noted about not being able to underwrite without seeing things in person.

I put 20% down using personal and private lending.How did you add value to the deal?

Maybe we can help a lot of people on this Bigger Pockets platform.So if you are an experienced investor, flipper, or buy and hold person?

Conducted personal research.

@Camille Romerounless you are able to spend some significant time in your chosen location in person, and work on building a network there, i would pick a market closer to NYC, within a couple hours.
