Chris, Gabriel Reyes with Artistic Custom Homes is doing a flip for us.

I have had other investors ask me about this, so it's good that you brought it up.If we want to talk about jobs in Indiana (specifically Indianapolis), you might also want to reference this article from the Indy Star two days ago about why Indiana is a great tech hub: http://www.indystar.com/story/money/2016/09/09/what-makes-indiana-tech-hub/89962386/It doesn't offer a lot of numbers about specific job growth but it does highlight why businesses find the area so attractive. 

What your formula highlights is lost opportunity cost perhaps but it certainly isn't a number to use for return on investment. 

Been a custom builder/remodeler for 20+ years. 

When we initially stepped out from our custom home building business into the investing space we focused on long term rentals.  

The owner, Chris, is phenomenal and if it weren't for the way he views customer service and the culture of the company I'm not sure I'd have taken a position in this field.  

It might have something to do with my phone too because now your name isn't highlighting either.  

There are of course (sneaky) ways to inspect the property without tenant being aware of the sale discussion (posing as insurance agent etc), however I do not want to run this business in a sneaky way, and even create a perception of being scam-y or sneaky with the customers... 

What makes this particular property special is that it is in DC, which is a very expensive market by the way, and it has high end finish such as custom cabinets, marble counter top & hardwood floors throughout.

I sent an angry email with my information of the unit and we received a nasty email stating we should cooperate with providing the adequate information, which I then replied with an image of my previous email highlighting the information he was requesting.
