The HVac needs replaced so that virtually took us out of the deal. 

Notice how virtually everyone in the thread has said 2yr lease has more cons than pros. 

It's like a Mac (sadly price isn't great) but runs Windows and I'm able to run Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects w/o too many problems.If you really want to stay cheap then you could also look into a tablet w/ a Bluetooth keyboard.

@Rob Sasser Check out @Daniel Hyman - runs a virtual real estate focused firm, but I think he has member of his team in NC.

We have a team of virtual assistants that are trained to setup and manage short term rentals.

We have such low inventory with virtually no builders building spec homes around here - if the numbers dovetail in with what the market will support, I'm hoping it's a strategy I can repeat, then move into actual spec homes once that model has proven itself.

You can tell a lot by driving down a street or "virtual driving" using Google street view.

Get a local or a virtual accountant to be your "in-house" accounting department.

I would like to learn more about virtual wholesaling and lease-purchase options in the meantime.

@Brian Barcaro I think finding a 30 year AM on residential rentals is going to be virtually impossible if you're going the commercial route.
