I'll have to do my dd on this one, but getting assistance sounds great if there's no catch.Thanks everybodyOut of state investing is very common, though I have no idea how common it is to not have actually visited any of the properties. 

I think this would make sense in the long run for the rental property as it will extend the life of everything it touches like the Sink, faucets, showers, water heater, dishwasher, and Clothes washer while also providing clean drinking water in addition to the reverse osmosis drinking water system I already have installed.The main problem with this hardness level is that we get a major deposit buildup on all of these items, which will eventually clog up the faucets for tenants and lead to rusty shower enclosures that take forever to clean.In addition to this, it looks like we could likely have the salt added every couple of months by the property managers in addition to that it would allow for a quick inspection from them, and then also we would instead bill the cost of the service onto the ledger for the tenants.For reference, it does not look like the landlords in the area have water softeners.Thank you everyone for your input ahead of time.

Are you planning to visit Ohio to look around at areas you think you might be interested any time soon?

My PM already charged me for their diagnostic visit (a month prior), which we seem to agree is shady.

Am I wrong for wanting to see when my places get booked and how much they got booked for ahead of time?

What that means is that if you win, they let you win and they didn't want the property of they bid you up.These are the basics, but I think you were way ahead knowing it's not ripe to be an acquisition pipeline.

Send me a message and I'd be happy to visit!

I have heard Texas and most areas would be closer to $100 when its all said and done.You can find good contractors through realtors, HBA in your area, REI Facebook groups and meetups etc.Make sure to check references of past and current clients, visit some jobs in process as you can tell a lot about a contractor by how the job site is kept up and organized.

After visiting the property and assessing its suitability for an ADU, I negotiated directly with the owner, emphasizing my plan to enhance the property’s value.

Buy in super small towns and they may not have a plumber, electrician or HVAC person who even wants to visit your project?
