And as someone that grew up in Missouri, this post caught my eye, particularly because I'd never heard of Lebanon, MO so I had to look it up on Google Maps.

You need a rock solid property management company and a great general contractor that will keep a close eye on everything that's going on with your property, especially being out of country.

Buffalo is getting a lot of attention right now so it makes sense you guys are getting more eyes as well.

Make sure you do your math correctly when analyzing property taxes…they will be eye opening.

Thanks for sharing, always an insightful eye Collin. 

Right now, I’m seeing max LTVs closer to 80% on purchases, though before COVID, we sometimes went up to 85%.Also, keep an eye out for lenders who promise amazing terms but demand large commitment fees upfront.

There’s huge retal income potential if you nail that balance between improvements that wow tenants and improvements that merely look fancy but don’t justify higher rents.I’d also keep an eye on how your high end plan fits the local demand.

I tried a big out of state flip due to living in a HCOL area and it failed miserably because I couldn't keep eyes on it and didn't have a good/honest team in place.

Now, I would not buy a property unless I have eyes on.

I have heard many times (from managers much smarter than me) that if you aren't getting as many eyes on your listing as you want, then you must lower the price!
