@Jonathan CronkhiteI had a condo with tenant that complained about roaches. what I did was hire a pest control to evaluate the situation and leave the documentation with the tenant.

Looking for a crew that knows how to use automatic taping tools and boxes as appropriate to knock out a job quickly and with high quality control.  

Detail sander, grout removal blade, vibrating scraper, precision hacksaw, ultra-thin curf wood saw, carbide rasp for thinset removal.

You will control the asset and not have constant quotes giving you anxiety.

It does weigh heavily on treatment but isn't controlling. 

No front-loading digital control fancy stuff, just a plain Jane top loader with old school dials.

As far as comps go, it would effectively be the same as analyzing all the properties in the town plus the scale effect of controlling all those pieces (i.e. how would that benefit or hurt the owner to own everything in a small market?)

Try and see the deal all the way through, but its not necessary.9) If the end buyer typically picks out the title company, No you control the deal, you pick out the title company.How will I know if the company is double closing friendly?

That being said, I am a big believer in giving underwriting precisely what they asked for. 

If you're constantly uncomfortable, or anxious about a property that you don't have much direct control over, it may not be worth investing out of state, regardless of the potential returns.
