The effects may re-appear, but it's very unlikely to almost never that the causes are why. 

When you buy halfway across the country and expect a turnkey process where someone or some company is doing all of the detailed work, such as property selection, renovation work, and property management, you are entirely reliant on their ability. 

It’s just the valuation.If I don’t fight this valuation, I am paying taxes on a higher assessed value than what I bought it for a year ago (they do 5 year assessments) and it’s effectively a 40 percent increase in taxes vs 2017.

I'm looking to do a gut rehab on a 2-3 unit property in the next 6-12 months and am in the process of selecting my team.
