If you need any background on me, I'm a film/game/trailer composer and am the music supervisor of a trailer music library. 

Never had the need before: this is the first time I've contemplated buying a fixer-upper (all my others were purchased move-in ready).My team is currently composed of those roles you'd expect of a buy and hold investor (RE agent, property manager, repairman, insurance & mortgage brokers, attorney, bookkeeper & CPA, etc.); I've assembled this team over the last 4 years of investing in the town (including several trips there to meet them, and buy property, in person).Put another way: I'm *way* more confident buying in this town halfway around the globe than I am buying in the city I live in.
