She knows the investing landscape in Salem, OR very well. 

This usually includes but is not limited to PLUMBING, flooring, landscape, utility lines and masonry.

@Edward Jakubiak, It's an ever shifting landscape that looks like the worst gerrymandering you'll ever see. 

Expenses are insurance,water and landscape ($4K/yr). 

I have offered to help restore the property because I own a landscaping company and I am beginning to become skilled handyman.

Hi biggerpockets, im trying to find investors such as myself. anybody here whose had any experience investing long distance? specifically in PH,

The bulk of the labor is done by subs, however we also contribute, make all the style decisions, running around, landscape design etc.

That's why I called up loan brokers more familiar with the landscape.

I still have quiet a bit left to get down Landscaping, new decks and paint the exterior.

Completely re-did the yard with great landscaping and great grass, looks like an emerald gem compared to the properties around it, added shrubs to the front as well to give it more home feel.Will not do anything significant regarding value-add as I do not want to do the leg work for the rest of the neighborhood.
