Although I trust any details that she’ll give me, things in writing is always better, right?

@Bob JonesNotes do absolutely nothing when we're talking about repossession.Most people usually think of the mortgage or deed of trust as the contract they are signing with the lender to borrow money to purchase a property.

I don't personally trust management companies, or anyone for that matter, to run my properties to my standard.

I would think, on the other hand, those effected properties will have a signification price / value drop so you might be able to get some from those who just don't want to deal with that or just walk away.I'm a long term investor (10+ years) so i would worry about global warming, sea level rising, stronger storms and more flooding so i would probably avoid areas that was historically effected or might be effected in the near future.

It it better to buy a upgraded or at least fixed up 1962 built SFH around 1500sqft with a yard, and drive way or a recently built 3 level SF townhome with no yard and no driveway from a rental perspective?

After 5 years of RE license become a broker, then get your property management license and take what you’ve built to th next level.

Or using Wifi from not a trusted source thats another big one..

@Weina Shi The cost can vary widely depending on the level of accuracy of the study.

. — It’s looking like I will end up with about $15k out of pocket for a total of $30k rehab.This includes new appliances, adding central HVAC, flooring, new cabinets/counters, Interior and exterior paInt, foundatIon levelIng, etc.

Do you stick to what you know and trust the agents already out there?
