You'll know if the tenants are in trouble, and it's easier on turnover to keep services on for repairs, etc. 

According to this article today by local reporters, the 130.11 acre site in Centenial Campus appears to be a good fit.

Easier to get in, bigger cash flow numbers, lower taxes, but there is less expectation for appreciation and Newark is more of a B-C area than PA which is an A area in my opinion.

It might be easier to explain by just giving an example.

If it does appeared to be sabotaged,  what recourse is there?

The better the deal is, the easier it will be to get a loan.  

Since this will be my first real estate I am trying to do it fairly hands off and the local real estate market where I am doesn't appear great for cheaper rental properties.As part of this plan I suppose I'd have a couple options. 1) Buy one or two properties using cash from the self directed IRA. 2) Financing 3-4 properties using funds from the self directed IRA.

It doesn't appear to be peeling, yet, per my brother who took a look.

@Dylan Mejo This is the only one I’ve come across recently that appears to be off market. https://glensfalls.craigslist.org/reb/d/glens-falls-investor-deal-glens-falls-2/6812515266.html180 Montray rd in queensbury has also peaked my interest

so this means the appraisal for the refinance part of the brrrr may come in too low if i move forward with this plan.of course on the other hand the tiny bedroom is wasted space that nobody will occupy. prospective tenants who need 3 bedrooms will not apply and my time showing this unit to them will be a waste. i do plan to hold this house for at least 10 years. so i am leaning toward doing this in an effort to make it easier to rent and keep tenants.
