My wife arrived to find the window well full of water.

Josh, So if I recently sent a PM to someone, and that person wasn't a colleague, the PM never arrived?

I will be receiving a letter explaining why, and to wait for the letter to arrive.

Arrive 30 minutes early.

Wholesaling some deals to build cash may give you the ability to put more down and arrive with a cash flowing deal.

They can rent it out until they arrive and get all the benefits of the appreciation and tax write offs.They should always hold the property, wherever they are, in a family trust or land trust, as that will provide them with peace of mind when you have to deal with the property and they can avoid probate. 

"Extended stay" hotels came into existence to serve this market need.When I first arrived to Pensacola, I stayed at a 2-star motel for $X a night and reserved the room one or two nights at a time (my apartment move-in date kept getting rescheduled as its upgrade schedule kept slipping).

I'm not sure if this is the best way to hunt for properties or make offers but it has helped me adjust some property prices into what would be an acceptable place to even start negotiating.Questions1) What do you think about me working back from a ~1.3 DCR, into a CAP, and then using that to compare properties and arrive at sensible purchase price?

The issue is arriving at a value from specs in the appraiser's mind's eyes and then adjusting to reality as to quality of work or materials actually used, usually being less.

I have about 4 months until I have to head that way and would like to purchase a home there prior to my arrival.
