With many people's help I recently made my first buy-and-hold purchase of a duplex in Fort Wayne, as an OOS investor! 

Salem is considered to be the Halloween capital of the US – we had over 900k people visiting this past October alone.

I think it is ridiculous that they would try these harsh moves on people who are obviously coming to them because we are in need of help.

It is way more common that people realize that out of state/out of market investors buy properties in hot markets.

What is the max # of total occupants, meaning can 3 people move into the rental or just 1 individual.

However their platform is helpful and so are the people you deal with. 

In today's market, it can be hard for some people to tell what they should do with a specific property. 

I feel like I do the job of 3 people running the company.

There are certainly people out there who will do anything to make a deal and make a buck but it's not in my best interest for the client to a) not trust me moving forward and b) have millions of equity wiped out which could hinder future purchases.

Marking up repairs & maintenance, farming out customer service to people that can barely speak English, charge a lot of junk fees, etc.I'm just not comfortable doing any of that.
