I wouldn't spend 2k on it or anything.Yeah I have one particular house where everyone who books it constantly says how pleasantly surprised they are at how nice it is and that it looks so much nicer in person than the photos.

Under any scenario, any state, someone who sits on their rights and lets someone get into the weeds to the benefit of the person who sat on their rights, will NOT have those "rights" enforced by the courts.  

In person control before controlling re from the distance.

Right now, the best offers around me are for some 1.3-4 million, that only generated around 100k per year gross, so there would be a high chance of not cash flowing, and paying money, especially with a commercial loan (these buildings have more than 4 units).I was thinking that although the rental itself does not generate money, I would be able to deduct the mortgage interest, and depreciation from my personal w2 income and would be net positive.

Used our personal realtor How did you finance this deal?

It has to be a personality trait.

Initially I didn't have a personal connection to the area and didn't know much about the city.

I received an email from that person as i was looking for a lender for a long term relationship to be a partner.

Buy a few things on credit that you would just usually pay cash for.I personally would not rush into a Heloc or such.

Personally I think both are important.
