While you may be willing to live without heat/ac or hot water for a week.

Right now I have two properties live.

Financially it only makes sense to invest remote if you have a sufficiently large economic delta between the market you live/work and Milwaukee.

You can actually still find deals where I live in the (very) low 5 figures, and in some cases, still in the mid 4 figures.

Quote from @Kaleb Garrett: In the town my parents live in (small town in East Tennessee) there is a small solar farm.

Are you looking to find a home to buy for yourself to live in? 

I don't know what's going on in their lives, and usually if someone is punching up at a landlord or their representative it's because of something in their lives that they're really stressed out about.

At minimum, stage the living room and primary bedroom to give it some warmth.That said, have you thought about cutting bait and putting your money into a market where the numbers actually work?

I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?
