That’s what I’m talking about.. having people on the ground who know their turf and can spot trouble before it smacks you in the face.From what I’ve heard, outfits like Northwest Preferred Property Management or Umbrella Properties in Eugene aren’t just running the numbers.. they’ve seen the weird mid-season repairs and the tenant personalities you’ll never read about in a textbook.

But the neighbors told me when they built their house from ground 6 years ago, there was no issues for any building materials or trucks going through the alley. 3. the house is in historic district of Charlotte, meaning there are quite some restrictions on the exterior renovation. 

You have to find a middle ground, IMO 

As we will likely be moving to a new place for our next assignment, I may have to start from ground zero making connections.

@James Wise has a great video explaining this: As an investor focused agent with boots-on-the-ground here in Cleveland- I would love to help you find and purchase a solid property!

These projects are just beginning to break ground so they have yet to establish a track record in this area.

I would echo what others have said - 100% start locally because you need to gain an appreciation for what it means to be an investor, understand the lifecycle of a deal and be on the ground to observe what's going on with renovations etc.

We built it from ground up to provide actionable insights that can be used to make actual decisions. 

The seller had the place for 10 years, in the beginning the tenant was 83 years old, figure the tenant would die in the few years, or move to a nursing home, never bothered to renew leases like 5% of $90, that he left it alone since he had 4 stores paying crazy market rents on the ground floor.

The latest timeline given to me for one of the properties is Mar 2023, but the other property has not even broken ground yet.
