Crystal Smith I'm not here to be counter-productive.

@Crystal SmithI want to thank you for the details and your personal experience with this type of investements..of particular interest is the correlation between crime and weather; is this your hypothesis or do you have any proven statistics/research on this?

Just need to provide crystal clear instructions (we use video's) for your VA to work with.As far as checking if a property has been sold: We use the local county appraisers site, though it can take a while for the site to update following a sale.

Determine what you want and don't get too swayed by society.For me personally, I want freedom to do what I want asap and buying house hacks makes the most sense for that.I think you got the right outlook, just gotta get crystal clear on your vision!
