You do not need batteries unless you're out in the middle of nowhere.Check out the net metering for your utility in doing your calculations.

You always want to make sure your bidding on 1st lien( usually the mortgage) because then "normally" any other liens are not your responsibility and fall off from your responsibility(they can make a claim on any excess proceeds from the auction sale).If your title search shows the 2nd lien being foreclosed on, well now your caught in the middle.

To make this deal even better it is in the middle of my drive to visit other communities I own.

We are not sur yet if we should do short term or middle term rental.

Todd, I believe you are talking about the traditional STR play in "middle America".

There is no middle ground with rental property. 

And we are pretty much done with that remote PM middle size.
