I search for something that will provide me a decent monthly profit and in an area where i believe i can trust pro forma to help me out when i plan to sell and 1031 into something bigger in a few years as long as we don't have a big crash (which some were saying could be imminent).i'm sure you've seen me post of the last duplex i purchased. 130k+100k in renovations

Personally I have been standing on the beach watching the waves for along time now and I am planning to swim out before 2019 arrives. 2/3 of the way through Long-Distance RE Investing and it is clear to me that it can be done.

I intend to find value-add properties near transit lines to EWR, JFK, and LGA and BRRR into the AirBnB, VRBO, and Crash Pad ecosphere.

The courts would likely arrive at the same conclusions described in 1 – 4, above.

But the overall demand to live somewhere that has 17 available units for every 100 renters means to me that there is at least no true crash in demand on the horizon, regardless of what values do or don't do.

Thanks for the advice, It's a new state for me so I will be taking the crash course on North Carolina tenant law!

God forbid a car crashed into your property or it catches on fire, but do you have the ability to fly out there for a week and meet contractors, insurance agents, etc. if that happens?

Initially our landlord (or representative from the real estate organization our building is owned by) was responsive and told us that she would send out a maintenance repair which didn't arrive until I followed up with her a little less than a week later about an update.

If it was 2009 when the market was crashing, that might make more sense.Second, drill down on what that "valuation" was.
