For the new investors, they allow physical inspection of the property.

so called GURUS just sale information that has not been tested or proven to be right..all hype, they could do such thing they will be the last to share their secretsdon't fall for it..ask for physical prove then you will know better

Unfortunately after we bought our second rental every one of us moved to other countries (myself I moved to China) due to work commitment and we got stuck with 2 rentals which in the past 5 years miraculously we managed it remotely.The reason I found this website is that I went to an exhibition in Macau (note I was on vacation there and after a few days casino did some sightseeing and ended up there) where a company was advertising investment opportunities in the US.

I also thing owning physical precious metals is a good investment long term.

If they're pulling 1k out at the casino atm every month or 2, probably not your guy.

So there is no physical addition to structure.Pool is also already there and I will be doing maintance to it.I was thinking of adding 20% to budget.

I hated that, no control, no physical asset, no fun.

The best I think is to physically walk through the house noting everything that needs to be done to it.

I think it's more important to be very familiar with a market than physically close to the market.

Buying property without checking title is far more dangerous than buying without seeing the physical property.
