I understand Vermont has slightly more stringent regulations to contend with but it would also be closer for us geographically and thus potentially easier to manage. 

Diversifying geographically can also reduce risk and increase long-term returns.For example, there are several markets across the U.S. that are ideal for new investors because they offer affordable entry points, reliable cash flow, and strong economic fundamentals.

The next property I purchase in their geographic footprint will also be managed by them.  

Geographic LocationDefine the regions or markets where you want to invest.

@Tayvion Payton   -  my guess is that you are still too far off the price, at least in the interim but it is always good to put in an offer, because they may come back to you down the road. 

I have purchased an off-market property from an investor who now wants to sell the rest of his portfolio.

I’ve worked for some group home providers where they employ a maintenance worker who handles some of these issues (usually if the have multiple homes in a specific geographic location) and I’ve worked for homes where the handiest employee fixes things and that option doesn’t always have the best outcomes.

The hard work paid off when we sold it on 9/13/2024 for $155,000.

Maybe they are bad communicators.Assuming you still want the place, I would do anything you want to reach out via the renal address or professional websites, but home addresses and personal social media is going too far.
