I just think it is vital to have some boots on the ground in the city where the investment property is, especially for smaller operators. 

Good or bad for the City of Philadelphia and more specifically the real estate market?

This city is just starting to expand with lot more newer builds coming soon and also closer to my primary home .

I would go back to that company as you are doing and reconcile this, bring plans, drawings, the license number and permit number with you to make sure you show you are doing it all within the city regs too so they can get you back online. 

Hey @Lacey Bediz, call the city.

I wondered are these numbers due to housing pricing of the neighborhood being higher or the actual demand itself, since Bellevue is considered one of the higher pricing cities in WA.

We've strived to learn from other tech-enabled property managers and firms who have failed to scale effectively and implement those learnings in our scaling to now 180 cities across California and Washington state.For what it's worth:We have over 170 4-star or greater online reviews. 

Outside the city limits of both towns there is more flexibility, but you want to be sure about what you can do with a property before you get under contract.I'm happy to help strategize more!

It will contribute to the importance of insurance (and contracts).I leased a Panama City, Florida, bay front fixer from a man that lived/worked out of the country.

You will find a TON of awesome people here on the forums representing our city who are willing to help you along your journey.My biggest suggestion would be to find some local meetups (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1211616-virt...) and introduce yourself to the host.
