To conclude, many investors who don't have enough time and then go buy a bunch of SFRs, even with a Property Manager in place, may create a second job for themselves.

The point of making an offer with an expiration date is so that "all bets are off" and a deal may still be concluded, but terms may be changed in your favor should seller be pokey.All the more reason to learn how to buy off-market properties directly from principals by becoming a master direct marketer. 

We're looking for a smart app that we can use across the range that will help us not only communicate well, but manage remotely, understand what's going on, and conclude the whole package.

You see this dude there got a lead from D4Dand that Gal there got one from a bandit sign, and OMG OMG OMG that old timer there with stinky breath got a lead from door knockingand 15 more people got a lead from D4D, Bandit signs and such...So you conclude.. hell... it DOES work.. right?

After burning through 7 property managers in 5 years, each time costing me thousands or dollars in rip offs and expenses that could/should have been avoided with competent management, I've concluded that out of state investing is not for me ... if you choose too, I hope you have a better experience than I did ... if you do, be EXTREMELY diligent vetting your PM, and find one you trust 100% before you find the investment property.

And this is a major reason why banks and other mortgage lenders won't even consider lending without clear, marketable title.Most people who intend to purchase real estate for personal use wisely conclude that the knowledge required, the cash required and the associated risk don't make much sense for a one-time purchase unless they intend to do so serially, for profit.

@Rob Randle after many years as a homeowner, I've recently concluded that I want to be a renter.
