A trip to Detroit would be much cheaper than a mistake for a new investor

Usually it takes them weeks to respond and they come up with some crazy stuff like by business is paying for the trip and need to pay with a certified check outside the platform.

You can file online now, a trip to the courthouse isn't necessary until the hearing.

I like small units (they don't trip breakers) and they are cheap.

@Summer Shelton yes, FHA loans do allow this but make sure you speak with your lender about some of the trip ups from these loans.  

it has to be worth a few trips there.

As far as flying (tax deductible too) You can do that and if it's in the states the total trip shouldn't cost you more than $2000 all in with lodging. 

If you cannot make the trip every week, then hire a Project Manager (like a retired GC) to be your voice in this process.

It’s exciting to hear you’re planning a trip to Indiana to explore investment opportunities.

I work a lot, probably more than the average W2, but we also travel a lot, at least 6 trips every year.So that's what's driving me, numbers on a screen are nice, but they are not fulfilling on a personal level.
