Rebranding properties with poor reputations can also be a valuable strategy to attract new tenants.By implementing these strategies, you can lower expenses, increase efficiency, and ultimately boost your property's income.

If you were looking at buying in Florida, but your lender is in NY or California, they dont really have to be as concerned about their reputation because the realtors (most likely) will never work with them again. #1 is the primary reason, but #2 does factor in as well.

@Martti Eckert how do you plan to find reputable contractors that won't take advantage of you when they find out you're OOS?

 @Patrick Pan not all states take such measures, and you can ask a reputable tenant screening company in your area how that works.  

From what I’ve heard, there are reputable local management companies in regions like San Antonio or Omaha that handle everything from screening tenants to arranging quick repairs.

They have other nice benefits also such as not charging for appraisals if the deal doesn’t close, a great reputation amongst local listing agents with meeting deadlines/ great customer service/ getting the job done with no b.s. and they can often close in under 14 days. 

I'm considering a fixer upper to retain as a rental but need guidance on how to pick reputable contractors.  

There is a web site that lists all the section 8 housing, so people might be also be looking there. 

I'm not sure if we can like to articles on our own websites here, so to be safe I'll just suggest the IRS web page, which does do a pretty good job of explaining the basics: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc510The main thing to know if you're going to claim business miles is that you do need to keep a log of every business trip. 

All complimented with Amazon fulfillment centers, google, and more tech manufacturing jobs.The bad reputation of “Detroit” comes from OOS investors wanting sub $40,000, D class properties in poor condition, because they pencil out to 2-3% deals on paper.
