Our reno was shut down for a few weeks, all open houses & showings were required to be socially distant, and with all the unemployment the buyer pool was (in my opinion) a little reduced.Nevertheless we got it done!

I'd love to see other even more distant areas of Metro NY see serious sales growth and appreciation.

Without knowing the circumstances, I'd suggest keeping your cool, having a distant, courteous tone in your correspondance and keep giving them the limits.

I ask because, in the COVID market, it is difficult to find deals (low price, high potential return) in our chosen, larger, distant market, but there are some cash flowing deals locally.

The seller lives quite distant and is unable to manage these issues. 

The most frustrating / worst part of investing for me over time has definitely been inherited tenants, with repair and construction headaches coming in a distant 2nd.

I'm also a distant investor and have not had a chance to view the surrounding area, but from what I can tell, there's not much around apart from houses and North GA Premium Outlets.Are there any investors who can give me some insights into north Cumming rental market?

No immediate connection but I have distant family there so I am somewhat familiar with the area (visited a handful of times in my life).

The king of accounting is QuickBooks Online, with Xero being a distant second.

Working on my second property now and hopefully many more to come in the not too distant future.
