When appealing to a business to business lead, you are appealing to a third party who will probably never see the inside of your unit, so all the usual real estate puffery is wasted.

Cost of doing business.Next time maybe you could have someone do a video walk-through for you.OOS is risky as heck.....

I'm particularly passionate about rental, fix-and-flip family and multi-unitsOutside of real estate, I enjoy nature photography.

BrendanWe typically use a third party servicer as its around $35/mo per loan and they also handle the escrow and end of year tax forms.

They've done multiple video preentations of their company.I'm surprised though that there is a complete dearth of reviews, articles, comments about them except for their own maketing material.Did either of you go with them? 

Hi BP Community,I’m looking into my first out-of-state multi-family partnership with someone that already has experience in the local market and connections to the operational teams required to make out of state investing successful.

@Bridger L Logan I have a mix of multis and sfr.

I think that part is self explanatory. 

So don't leave anything in an MTR that is irreplaceable.In addition to security deposits, you can also use the AirCover program for Airbnb bookings and third party services like Waivo and Safely that provide mini insurance per booking.

I understand not buying more up there, but your initial investment there will turn out well.You can check out the BiggerPockets video podcast and leave a comment if you have questions.
