I don't know if it falls into the 'jack of all trades, master of none' category... 

@Jennifer McElliottI think #1 will be your biggest obstacle - the fact that you are not familiar with the area and also that you don't have a team in place to help you find, rehab and manage the properties, as opposed to your existing contact where you live.I think there is nothing wrong with looking at AL once you move there for opportunities, but you have the WA market to always fall back to since you know it well.

I pick it up, place it in the back of the truck and ratchet strap it in place.  5 min later while driving down a straight, smooth road the oven (still strapped in) falls over and the glass bust out of the door.

You don't get penalties but some of the moments will trigger taxes if it doesn't fall in the rollover category.

Plus, its a good fall-back plan if I ever lose this job.

I know there are books out there claiming you don't need credit to get into real estate, but you then need all the ducks to fall into place.

Well , as far as insurance , any plowing contractor should have insurance but most will make  you sign a hold harmless agreement , basicly we are not responsible for slip and falls , bushes , driveway damage etc .

In the fall they took it off the market, and after speaking with a realtor, put it back on in January or February.  

. - They all fall into the "middle" option.  

Need a contractor that is reliable in Sioux Falls, SD area.
