Thanks ahead of time! 

You have the right idea of how to market.As a broker, I encourage sellers to get a phase 1 before we go to market - that way we know ahead of time if there is any remediation and can either fix it ahead of time or price in the work.

Hey Investors and Landlords, please click through to this post on the Kansas City local TV Station's page - be sure to read the article and watch the video and leave a comment.

Give us dates before “prime season” and block the dates ahead of time?

Yes it is entirely possible to invest in an area by never visiting the area but if people are planning to have a huge net worth tied to a specific city, you may as well spent the money to visit for at least 3-4 days.The trip doesn't necessarily need to be all business.Plan the trip appropriately - tell your contractors, tenants(if you want), property management companies that you will be arriving ahead so you can meet with them. 

If you are getting a place on the cheap - especially in today's market, you might have LOADS of work ahead of you in repairs prior to placing a tenant (or 2).Still workable, but that's what I see from the info you presented. 

If the house, your primary has what your family wants and within, key word, your budget you want to spend on housing, then go ahead.

I essentially thought of everything that could be set up ahead of time to drastically reduce the upkeep.

After talking to verizon, I learned that it’s not secure to have the main router where stranger can access it as s/he can click the reset button and erase all the custom passwords I set up.

I want to take benefit of low interest rate but the 8-9K increase in loan amount plus additional charges about appraisals, etc is making me worry if I should go ahead or not.Thoughts and comments are welcomed.
