I've helped hundreds of out of state investors passively here in the southern/middle part of the country. 

Honestly I can’t believe your realtor let you counter/haggle over a few hundred dollars.

I'm not going to extend hundreds of thousands of dollars in credit, really to anybody. 

Lemme get this straight: I have no control when I have a highly liquid, fungible, instrument bottomed on hundreds, if not thousands, of assets across a continental or even global geography, and many asset classes, and I can buy or sell at a moment's notice.I DO have lots of control, however,when I buy a single asset class in the form of an illiquid, unfungible, single asset class that is highly localized, and subject to the whim and caprice of economically ignorant people and those who cater to them.No.

There’s a large apartment (a few hundred units) being expanded 3 blocks away.It’s 4 blocks away from a major university health center (and embassy suites for hospital visitors) and 2 miles from another hospital (possible travel nurse MTR potential).

I'll be extending city water and sewer a few hundred feet up the highway and metering spaces separately.

For me, I'm a very conservative investor and may look through a hundred deals a month, and at the end of the year only invest in 4-5.

I would suggest that route if you intend to wholesale, or play the numbers game on the MLS and make hundreds of offers until you land a deal (a real deal).

I am on a bunch of wholesaler's lists and after analyzing hundreds of deals for myself and my clients I found one that was from a reputable licensed agent/wholesaler and I pulled the trigger.

No one is going to sit through hundreds of hours of DVR or cloud-based footage of nothing to verify that what you say is true according to your "evidence."
