Welcome, hope all is well

If you haven’t already, I’d scope out the municipalities around town.. from what I read in The Economist, the Phoenix metropo area continues to rank high for job growth, which usually bodes well for new builds.

well if I ever make it to the Smokies to see what the draw is  I will rent a condo then :)  I am just guess but I suspect folks that go there want to be in the woods and hear the birds and maybe some local mtn views etc.. or some sort of privacy they never get at home out east were there is not very much public lands close to where they live in the big city. ????

If it would concentrate on rent collection only and do it well, it might be okay.

I appreciate it.john Your plan seems well-thought-out, but I’d keep a few things in mind.

I believe I will just be taking over his insurance as well, or that is the intent.

As a matter of fact, far too many these days don't write contracts or stick to their price commitments after the project is well underway. 

I found houses that had not been well kept up.

I’m ideally looking to buy that first property in San Diego.ThanksSounds like you're well positioned.

WELL, thats what we planned so far.
