I'm currently reading the book Multi Family Millions and gaining a stronger grasp on how things work.The biggest thing I learned since getting involved with real estate is that hesitating to take action is the worst thing you can do.

For RI, there is the non-resident landlord registration and the other RI issue is the lead laws are stronger.

In some case rental rates are stronger then in more expensive states along both coasts. 

Of course, your case would be much stronger if you followed all laws in the first place.

Right now my biggest obstacle is getting my out of state flip squared away but I feel pretty damn good that next year will be absolutely different and I will be a lot stronger to be able to accomplish my new goals.

It certainly won't be appreciating (much, if any), and I may have difficulty selling the property in the future.Sacrificing some cash flow, I can find properties in more desirable parts of town with stronger resale values, higher rents, and more stable tenants.Appreciate the insight everyone, thank you.

You can reduce risk by buying them with longer seasoning (how long they have been paying successfully), higher down payments/equity, stronger credit scores, etc.

It is best working with a modular factory that builds using SIP Panels as they are more energy efficient and lighter weight with a much stronger quality, the SIP Panels can be worked with using OSB or Phenolic Skins. 

It's been my experience that banks will negotiate with a lot of terms if you have stronger financials or perhaps switch your operating accounts, savings account etc, over to them.

When you make an offer it will be a lot stronger.
