Without a mortgage, you are good to go from the beginning.

I have been doing this a long time and the things that happen in my Little Rock properties still surprise me.

New builds, new developments, plenty of rentals within driving distance of the city center, and there are still plenty of areas where a good eye for a rehab job will get you a good ROI.

Plenty of people invest remotely, and as long as you have modest expectations (not chasing the highest possible yield), and are using light leverage, and don't get suckered into buying in a part of town that you wouldn't feel comfortable visiting in broad daylight, plenty of people do this and do... fine.

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

I use buildium which is a good value and I think the integration with tenant turner alone saves triple the hours needed to be worth the cost.

This is a long revived post- I'll add a little tax pro insight from what's happened in the last 2 years The IRS went from < 100 engineers on staff who were qualified to audit cost segregations to a few hundred. 

Hi Nando, I'm an Agent and Investor in the Spokane area but I have a good network in the greater Seattle area.

@Bryan Hartlen thanks for sharing more info.Agree that it shouldn't take this long to do MoveOut Evaluation!

Hey,I am curious if any of you have found good deals on the market that were listed on the MLS for a long time (90+ days).
