While I understand your concern, repeated reminders can feel a bit pressing and unnecessary. we have to track the source of leak source first.fix the source of leak if is coming from our aparement wait sometime to make sure there is no more leak and repair the ceiling

@Ross DenmanHi Ross, I would love to get a hold of that inspector for myself. 

ALONE. live in 1 unit and rent out the others. rinse and repeat. get wealthy. live generously.

New to this local market, I wonder whether buy and hold is a good strategies for this market (balanced between cash flow and appreciation for class A or B, I know cash flow is difficulty in general given today's real estate environment )?

Quote from @John Underwood:He still to the day says this is the worse thing he has ever done in his life I was told many times growing up (and repeat hearing that voice as an adult).   

I don't understand how you can't track them down.You could stop paying HOA dues, and that will force them to contact you.As for the PM, I would instruct them to hold off on painting until the termite issue is resolved, which includes providing you with contact information of the HOA board.

Also, if you're working with a local bank, theyre likely choosing not to originate  Conventional loans for investment properties and to only offer commercial loans that they hold on their balance sheet, which are subject to their own internal credit policies.

I plan to purchase the property with 5-10% down, live in it for a year or two with a roommate, then rent it out full-time and repeat!

While you may not be considering moving to a market and house-hacking, I think this BiggerPockets article still offers great data for out-of-state buy-and-hold investors.Key takeaways: Fayetteville, AR and Indianapolis, IN may be good places for you to start if you're new.

While prenuptial agreements hold up better in these states, judges have wide latitude to correct “inequitable distribution”.
