FYI, I only operate in the state of Iowa.

I as a man wouldn’t have considered that issue.

Hyun, my clients and I (as an investor as well) like condos in specific markets for rental properties.

It is also hard to get competitive bids if I as owner do not own the plans.  

I as a resident of NYC for about 50 years AND a Landlord of small buildings (4 Family and below) have a couple of insights in regards to comments made about NYC.FIRST, the article does sight some important issues in regards to regulated apts where the family unit was large and then, over time, reduced to a very small size.

I'm not saying this is the case in Iowa, just pointing out that the 'hunt for yield' as they say has been going on for some time with ultra-low interest rates on deposits.  

The judge already dismissed his zoning violation/rooming house accusations when we were at court first time, since i as the landlord am aware of the situation and am actively remedying it by proving a common lease to everyone. 

It took my husband and I a while before we took the plunge...we brought our first property last June and closing on a second SFH this Friday! 

Would I, as the wholesaler, need to bring a contractor with me to estimate the repair costs? 

I live and work around Independence, IA and we use NPI for a lot of our inspections as well.
