My parents and sister live about 45 minutes apart and neither can water at all to try to salvage anything in their yards, it’s all dead, but manage to water a little bit occasionally to try to save the foundations to their expensive houses.

I occasionally think of buying property in RVA instead of NoVa simply because it's more affordable.

If not, then there is probably some administrative bloat and waste somewhere.

If you are investing out of state, there are almost certainly more "target rich" cash-flow markets out there that are easier to get to via major airline if you want to check up on your investments occasionally. 

And pay for the termite inspection too.Add to that the occasional appraiser who thinks it's his patriotic duty to hammer the price down for the veteran. 

We have a fairly decent size buyers list and network and previously, have had nearly no trouble selling our deals.There has not been a drastic change in the quality of our deals (of course the nature of the beast allows for the occasional seller who wants too much for their property or the crazy rehab/tear down situation but speaking generally) and I would argue our buyers list has grown significantly. 

I too remodel my properties myself and occasionally had help from friends and contractors.By all means, hope the remodeling comes along great, hope I could be of help for you.

I deal with tenants all the time and occasionally people call me angry about something.

Some are occasionally be found but we are getting beat out.and completely over the idea?

I own a property management company, I own rentals, do fix n flip, and occasionally wholesale.
