They often find the most convenient contractor to fix the problems, perhaps you "hire" your parents as a property manager as needed and buy them dinner in return.Good luck!

There is just a lot that COULD go wrong, and if the deal goes sideways that could make for some very uncomfortable Thanksgiving day dinners if you know what I mean.

We personally enjoy walking to dinner, drinks, the park, and groceries when we run out of a thing or two in the middle of the week, so for us walk score is important.

And I will have to ask Carl when we have dinner next time whats up with those .. 

@Jason V. curious question; do you go out for dinner ever?

Buy a lot in a Development, preferrably as construction is BEGINNING....shop around, check out the deed restrictions, make sure it's what U would think about KEEPING & maybe even building there Yourself....hold onto it until 2-3-4 houses are either completed or under construction....check out the price....if it hasn't doubled since there was "nothing", I'll buy You dinner (& buy that lot 4 5% over what U paid for it)This isn't "rocket science", it's smarter, & Lord Knows, safer!
