@Ryan Janssen, while some smaller banks will sell NPN to individuals if you can get in front of the right person, it is so unlikely that a large bank like US Bank would that it is safe to say it is impossible.

Is there anyway to safely remotely run these class C high crime area Apt’s?

I made a tester on my own that connects to my air compressor from parts at the hardware store but I believe you may be able to find one online.  

I've also found tenants from online classified ads, holding an open house, and from my own website. 

When selling, I usually figure about 10% of the selling price. 6% for realtor, 1% for title policy, about 2% to help the seller close and about 1% for misc fees (doc prep, escrow fees, recording fees, etc).Things will vary by company, but 10% is a pretty safe amount to budget for.

just reading online it seems like it should be a matter of months, not years. but i am not educated in the topic... perhaps it is very complicated!

Thanks for advice guys.I am totally safe on this, as the cash flow is far more than enough to cover the costs.

If it is not something a consumer can do online that can usually help the business with a storefront.

I’m projecting 9.6% to be safe but would like a real world point of comparison.

I will tell some major things that will allow you to be safe and productive.Beware off all communication on the Internet, especially if you don't know them.
