I'm not a fan of doing anything 'sight unseen,' and this is an excellent example of that.You can find plenty of success stories about doing things this way, but what you almost never hear about, are the failures.

Using the principle of respondeat superior, the contracting company is the most likely entity they would sue if it ever went that far. 

Now, we have no end date in sight.  

All depends on what your goals are.The pros are more income, less debt/risk.Cons are, you'll have to receive that increase in income longer to recoup the principle you paid down.  

I am up to 33 rental units scattered sight around town, mainly focused in 2 areas: west Rockford and the Mid-Town neighborhood.These neighborhoods are #7 and #18 on this list:http://www.arrestrecords.com/the-25-worst-neighbor...I have 0 business debt and own all these properties outright.

I would just make sure everything is sightly, clean, and in working order.

Would you buy a place sight unseen?

Of course it reduces the debt service at the beginning, but you still have to pay the principle at some point.  

At first house flipping intrigued me the most, and in the last couple weeks since I found this wonderful sight I have been going through the discussions and making my way through some of the books that I have found to be great reads from this site.

So now I've had my license since February, and while I've mainly been focused on getting my sales business going, I haven't lost sight of why I came here in the first place.
