.: I’m looking at a property that checks all the boxes—good numbers and fits my buy box—but I haven’t seen it in person.

I do all accounting for properties and company in Rent Manager. 

My rental condo in Asheville, NC was spared damage from the flood, but when the city finally turned the water back on a few days ago, they somehow overpressurized and blew out a fitting inside a wall. 

To make a long story short, for one property you are not going to save $ in the long run and realize materials can take 6-16 weeks to arrive. 

Definitely join your local chapter of REIA (real estate investors association) or join one of the ones that are fully online (Columbus and Cincinnati).

And this is a biggee wading through the fake lenders or the Joker brokers that tell you what you want to hear  but cant get the deals funded and you lose the deal and a lot of money.3. with actual PML  private people  usually have very limited funds so cant scale with them.. they can have a life event and just stop doing loans all together..

Thank you all.  

One of the first books Dave gave me to read was, Rich Dad Poor Dad.

So I feel it's not a fit for everyone.

What is the kind of timeline you are looking for also?
