What I presented - and BTW, it's not my idea but one that's used by wealthy people & corporations all over the world - allows him to access the equity he's accumulated in the properties in lump sums which more than offsets the cost of the PM, and continue to own the asset such that it can be continued in virtual perpetuity.

Here in San Antonio we are perfecting systems for doing un-accompanied (no agent present), vacant home showings.  

We are in the process of purchasing a home in Bremerton and we live in CA at the present time.

The policies that are so obviously destructive in many blue states (rent control, NIMBYsm for zoning, high taxes, regulations, fees) are huge obstacles that present real risks in the short-term and with very newsworthy headline outliers.But, these same policies are also a landlord's best friend in the long-term. 

I know he's a God here, but I am just laying down the facts and they are presented.

My consideration is whether or not I need to be present in the city while I am searching or if it is enough to fly in when something looks like a deal to be considered.I am still curious, though, about what you would look for as I mentioned in the previous post.

A good deal could be that the upcoming vacancy presents the owner a unique opportunity to reposition and add value the property (basically finding a tenant that pays higher rent and therefore raise the NOI). 

This home I view as a place to live and build a family for now until opportunity presents itself.

Louis offers affordability, cash flow potential, and emerging market opportunities but also presents management challenges, unfamiliar markets, travel costs, local regulations, and crime rates.
