Renting is the last thing I would do personally unless it is less than 12 months max. 

Personally I would not.

Point noted about not being able to underwrite without seeing things in person.

Maybe we can help a lot of people on this Bigger Pockets platform.So if you are an experienced investor, flipper, or buy and hold person?

As for serviceability, I personally prefer kohler as a plumber.

Conducted personal research.

Quote from @Daron Williams: I just invested in a tax deed here in texas it was a beautiful lot right on lake sam rayburn. i have it on the market for sale the only problem is you have to have two lots to build on.. i found the person that owns the lot to the right of me and there willing to possibly sale there lot the only problem is i dont have the money or the credit  to purchase it.

I know lots of installers don't do it, and I personally prefer the unimpeded look, but anything installed outside of the requirements of the material is probably going to be limited, i.e. the insurance company is not going to pay you because the material was not installed according to flooring requirements. 

The person who comes into money but not a lot of experience in real estate should be a little more cautious right now.So overall, I am not saying - do not buy, I am saying be careful.

This is from personal experience, the housing authority is the problem.
