@Jonathan Greene 100% agree but sometimes people (like myself) have to learn the hard way. 

A while back I was listening to an older episode of the Bigger Pockets podcast back Michael Greene was still hosting and they talked to an insurance expert. 

@Jonathan Greene thank you so much! 

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Then the question is if you want to deal with a long-distance rental property (I'm assuming the GA place is north of Atlanta, which is at least 5 hours from Fairhope).

It's super competitive here and we have a large flow of off-mkt homes coming our way, so we had to develop tools to speed up acquisitions/underwriting.I built something that allows VA's or very green staff members the ability to properly distinguish opportunity as if they had years of expert experience & local market knowledge.It will run sales comps & estimate ARV for you:And has drilled-down market stats that are actually useful!

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: This is a great idea, Joe.My kids are 23 (son) and 21 (daughter).They have learned real estate through osmosis and probably don't know how much they know.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: One upside to me would consistent rent scale, meaning if you upgrade one unit early, you set the table for all of the units when done because they are all the same.

Quote from @Michael Dallas: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: This is a great opportunity.

If you do, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.
