Looking Forward:I can’t wait to connect with fellow investors, landlords, and anyone who knows how to fix a leaky faucet without summoning a plumber. 

We would be so grateful for any input, experience, or recommendations from homeowners or agents regarding what would be the preferred choice for 1) attracting rental guests in the short term, 2) retaining value for resale and not looking dated in 10 years, 3) protecting ourselves from accidents.  

Everyone you visit take pictures with date/time stamp.  

The other person, I have given a grace period to move out (where they pay $200 /mo. in rent and if all payments are made on time, I give them their rent back by an agreed upon move out date...like cash for keys with more accountability).

Property Address, 2, Property Purchase Price, FICO Score, # of Rentals currently owned, Property Annual Taxes and Insurance, (IF a refinance, estimated value and purchase date), and if you own a primary or not. 5.

People date for years and then all hell breaks loose when they get married and move in together.

We'll even call an employer to verify work dates to see if applicant has a solid 2-year work history.

During and after COVID I ran into people that had "Vouchers", but it had a 3 or 4 month expiration date. 

Sorry to hear this.I would always say that "There is nothing wrong with any property as long as the price is right".Granted, some are not salvageable and the deal doesn't make sense even if the seller paid to me to take it lolOver the past 10 years I have witnessed many investors trying to do the same thing as you.Purchase from afar without buying turnkey and trying to do it themselves.This has been popular especially the last few years.Not many succeed unfortunately or they don't succeed in my eyes as they are into deals for much more than what they should be.There is a big trend going on where folks are made to "feel involved" with the purchase, rehab and property management process.The properties look great and off-course they do as rehabs cost $40,000 - $50,000.It doesn't sound like a lot of money for folks from CA and NY but for our local standards it is and IMO kills the cashflow and is unnecessary overcapitalization.Each to their own I guess.Just had a call the other week with a fellow from CA that bought a few turd properties from a local scam artist and is flying to town to try and rehab them himself.Another fella I managed to save even tho he lost his deposit of $1,000 as the seller (Another known scam artist) made him commit to the deal without allowing an inspection or even a walkthrough...If that isn't a red flag then I don't know what is 🤷‍♂️Hat's off to you for flying into to town to see the property for yourself.Wishing you much success

My journey in real estate has been driven by a passion for helping people achieve their property goals, whether it's finding the perfect home, making profitable investments, or connecting buyers and sellers for mutual success.I'm eager to network with fellow professionals who share the same enthusiasm for real estate and dedication to making a positive impact.
