Remember aging brings about increased medical expenses and a lot of unknowns.

If youre talking things unknown that just happen....having good insurance and/or knowing contracting/contractors and how to get things done by paying nothing more than labor and materials.

I have won deals for my buyers because the listing brokerages know me and that my buyers perform.If an unknown buyer contacts a listing brokerage the listing brokerage wonders who will work with and control the buyer through the process to closing if they select them?

However, there are a few unknown that are out of the control.

@Durante KirbyFair enough, consider the value of known-knowns when it comes to your Mom's property vs the unknown unknowns that you get with buying other rental real estate even if you are physically close to it.  

I know there's a way to make this deal happen, but I'm starting to wonder if it would even be worth it because of all the unknowns associated with this property.

What about yet unknown markets outside of Salt Lake, Denver, Austin, or Phoenix?

hi everyone,i am in the process of analyzing a duplex, and I've just learned some new info about and I'm wondering what I'm missing about the implications of the following details:-duplex is tenanted already; duplex is priced quite low for the neighborhood, so interior condition is unknown-property is a duplex via an addition. it was originally built as a sfh.

No Great team is going to jump at the chance to work with a complete unknown.
