This is what I look for.Focus on Solutions, Not ProblemsSome contractors have a problem for every solution, while others provide solutions to every problem.The best contractors I’ve encountered always focus on solutions rather than problems.

I noticed that it looked vacant and has stickers on both doors.

Please keep us informed on obstacles you encounter.

All the virtual assistants I am encountering are pushing the new online web platforms as their go-to choice for working with me.... and I'm not so sure.

They ride trough the city with confederate flags on their truck or stickers on their cars insulting liberals and honestly think they are making a statement.

Some problems you may encounter are that it may be harder to find quality management, qualified tenants, buyers if you need to sell in the future and while there may be quality labor and trades the cost for repairs is at a higher ratio to property costs than bigger markets and often doesn't correspond to an increase in properly value in smaller towns.Some ot the benefits are higher cap rates, good cash flow, inexpensive properties, depending on the area good rental rates and low vacancy. 

I've just never encountered it before.  

If it is more, then the surprise is pleasant.Other cautions:  We have encountered residential lendors who will not include revenue from tenants at will (i.e. verbally under the default periodic monthly tenancy) or even those on a written month-2-month tenancy.  

Once reducing turn over renovations drastically, you still may encounter a few.

Potential rehab costs outweighing sticker prices.
