The agent also is a friend my wife and myself. 2) My coop still hasn't released their financials and said it "should" be in by another week and a half. 3) By the time, the financials are in (if they are in), I will be on vacation for 2 weeks.

Hi Jason,  welcome to bigger pockets,  what part of Arkansas do you live in?  I

@Danielle WolterHi Danielle,I my opinion spending $350 and getting a hotel for a couple of nights is a small price to pay to do your due deligence on a market you would like to invest in.  I

@Michael BaumThe area were planning on buying in is about 30 North of the Salt Lake airport.

So the longer leases really just end up locking the landlord in. I

My wife and I own 3 properties, 2 SFR's (we manage our self) and the home we live in. I

The community that I purchased in is very family oriented, which is a demographic that I hope to attract.  

Go for it and jump right in! I

This process takes months and most times they will not even rezone it (depending what state/city you're in).I wouldn't think about proceeding until the property is zoned properly. 

I'm confident in my ability to work hard and learn things fast, in fact, I've been analyzing deals like crazy just to get some practice in! I
