I'd be cautious, maybe try and get some face time with the person to put a face to the name.Ryan

Be cautious going too far west of I95 after you are north of 112, those are historically underserved neighborhoods and while they are slowly gentrifying, they are not likely to appreciate as well as the areas I mentioned.

Just be cautious when choosing the neighborhood.

More power to you if you can handle it just be cautious.

I get it if you live in the market but boy there are huge risks doing this when you live in WA and the property is in some other state 2k miles away.. said that from day one.. can it work sure.. can you end up in a world of hurt sure.. so just be very cautious on this model.. its the whole reason you have companies that provide already rehabbed and cash flowing homes.. takes a bunch of the risk out of it.. as long as you don't use Morris invest. 

If you are unsatisfied with me and decide to vent publicly, just understand that I intend to defend myself publicly and I typically do so with evidence to back me up.I'm always cautious of anyone that has all good reviews because I suspect they are purchased or coerced.

However, you’re right to be cautious.

I would also be cautious purchasing a duplex that is occupied - the previous owner may not have screened their tenant(s) appropriately and you may inherit a headache.

Also, be very cautious when tenants are that eager to pay and move in... it's usually for a reason and a red flag. 

I would be extremely cautious about buying a property that has prior flood damage - you'll want to dig into the repairs and how they were completed.
