The previous owners did a do-it-yourself remodel which had tons of red flags if I had taken the time to cross-reference the sellers disclosure with the inspection report, but at that time the market was hot and I had to move fast.

Rochester, NY is a very hot market, there are very few homes for sale.  

I have a question about how often I should follow up with a warm/hot lead.

There have been quite a few "hot-headed" investors who came through and were unsuccessful.

However, Northern Utah seems to me an extremely hot market right now, with deals closing before they can even hit the MLS.

His name was Rod and he could not have been nicer. 

It does make the local area not as "hot' for investing as it used to be. 

Inherited tenants are usually a negative, however in that area leaving the duplex totally vacant makes it a target for thieves to come in and steal your pipes, furnace, and hot water tanks.

The issue seems to be that apartment owners don't want to be bothered, even though EV charging is an amenity like a tanning booth, pool, deck, hot tub, laundry area or whatever.

In the backyard, what was previously grass and concrete was completely transformed into a lush vacation oasis, complete with a luxury pool, expansive deck, custom mural, chic furniture and hot tub for the ultimate tropical experience.
