Why does all the interaction need to be at your property?  

Don't just read on here but interact other other investors!

I speak, read & write fluently & know the ways of the system fairly well having lived and interacted in the country for 5 years.  

Feel free to ask me anything, and aside from that I look forward to interacting with all of you as time goes on and learning what I can from some of the great deals you've all been a part of!

All that said I was not in the room there is a whole context to this interaction we can't know but I wanted to throw out some thoughts for next time.

I look forward to some productive discussions on this forum and perhaps interacting with some of you one-on-one!

If and how does your client interact with you and at what stage (if any).

Out of State is usually tricky and a SF has much less PM interactions (and turnover) than a duplex, which over the distance will more than make up for the lower cashflow.

@D'Angelo Cook, we recommend that you have an image, but you can interact and use the site without one.

If the landlord accepts the rent for the following month after the term of your original lease ends, then you have established a month-to-month tenancy.It's always best to document all interactions; leases, payments, conversations about repairs, terms, etc.
