Would love to chat more and understand your vision. 

I understand that you borrowed from VCF, but I'm curious if you talked to any local banks/credit unions to comparison shop and if they were competitive?

Understand Their Process – Clarify loan requirements, turnaround time, and potential challenges before moving forward.

It's more important than doing individual property analysis, because when you do a proper market analysis, you are analyzing ALL of the properties in any market(s) at the same time.Now, one of the analysis "pitfalls" is not understanding what defines a market, or more importantly, a Micro-market.Another problem is focusing on one strategy, and trying to fit each market/property. 

I'm going to buy my first property within the next couple of months and I'm curious about how people manage their properties when they are not within a driveable distance of them.I understand they have property managers but where do you find them?

Outside of that, looking for value add opportunities that help maximize rents and understanding immediate needs to turn it over to the a rental (appliances, fixtures, paint, flooring, etc.). 

While they were likely notified, they probably don't understand foreclosure law and lien priority. 

I understand each comapny structure and risk and I do respect it. 

Am I understanding that?
