.: 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.

Are there specific qualities or terms you look for that make the relationship a good fit for your investment strategy?

Decided to grab another one there since we've already built out a great team and the lift to get it running will be light. 

I am also involved in management at one of the largest STR property management firms in Cashiers.

I have property in three out of four of those counties including one SFH in Madison, one SFH in Limestone on 20 acres that's being developed to a MHP slowly, and one existing small MHP in Morgan County. 

HUD 4000.1 (I believe) is the latest HUD handbook and it goes over all requirements for originating the loan, including but not limited to occupancy requirements and exemptions.FHA occupancy : "At least one Borrower must occupy the Property within 60 Days of signing the security instrument and intend to continue occupancy for at least one year."

If you value your time, it is all worth it in the end. 

Losing 60+ % of your population for a city of this size is unprecedented.  

@Audrey Sommer you have some good comments above (and some funny ones too) but just to confirm, what you were told is not accurate.  

As Josh mentioned, it's important to find your right fit, I wouldn't focus solely on price especially if you're looking to be very hands off and you're looking for quality.
