We are now at the point where we replace 3 driveways every year, starting with the worst ones. 

The 3 issues you described are all fairly large red flags, especially for someone's first property.

We are in East Central Illinois. 

Interesting, I am an active investor, we also have a team and ask OOS clients almost the opposite: we require them to come to Milwaukee and check out some neighborhoods and houses together in order to make sure we are on the same page.

What is it you do in real estate in Redding?

While that kind of income is not a deterring factor, when I looked over the terms of service many big red flags came up.

We negotiated a deal with the owner for 20% Equity, we are responsible for infilling the community as well as property management (which we also get paid separately for).

in a stick frame market and one of the cheapest markets to build we build with margin at $190 or so a square foot. that will go up over time about 5% or 10% a year to keep up with new build price increases. we are buidling a 3 story walk up and source some of the lowest priced crews.

Are there any unique considerations or red flags you look for compared to the traditional rental process?

Not every inspection request is a red flag!
