Is there a separate drive for them to go right to the out-building?

Because the area is so large, being therelets you drive those areas at different times of the day to learn the neighborhood even better.

I have heard of people driving the Homewood Suites or other longer term properties at night to see what trucks are parked there and calling those companies!  

Most of our family is in CA and one of our criteria is to be 1 day or less drive time from them.

If that doesn't drive job growth hence rental demand, then I don't know what does.

An hour drive may be difficult at first, but the thought of cash flow at the end of the month will make the drive worth it.Good luckGino

The area (because it's on the early end of "up and coming") has no STR or MTR zoning restrictions.It's somewhat sketchy by reputation of the locals, but anyone driving through the area would think differently.

Skip tracing is included so you can be driving, stop and look, and all the information is there for you.

The same tenant complains the other tenant is driving too fast.These 2 don't like each other.

You could have a few things driving the cost:-Location - if the house is more remote the contractor will have higher costs to get out there (gas, lodging, limited resources) or if you are using a local guy he might be higher because he knows there are fewer competitors -El Nino - the roofers we use are all busy because people are rushing to get work done before the rains hit.
