Unfortunately, I'll only arrive after the CIREIA meeting. 

I have one that goes out when they book, one the day they arrive and one the night before they leave with check out instructions.

Now, research some inventory in each of these markets to help arrive at your decision.

I finally ended with, Sorry, I don't rent sight unseen, but there are several apartment complexes that rent short-term, like we had to do when we moved to this area, and then you'd have time to view properties after your arrival.  

I think a call prior to their arrival reminding them that there is important info in the house guide, rules for the pool that will be enforced, etc. will help a lot.

For illustration purposes, lets say that we are evaluating the following note:Original Principal Balance: $100,000Interest Rate: 5%Term: 360Payment (-536.82) CalculatedLets say that the the above note is available in the secondary market parameters as follows with10 payments made:Unpaid Balance:  98,976Remaining Payments: 350As a savvy investor, I am looking to buy the balance of the payments at a discount 70% of the Unpaid balance: or $69,500that would improve my Yield from 5.0% to 8.55% based on inputting the parameters into by HP10iiMy question is how would I arrive at ROI?  

@Kelly ConradBefore you evening arrive at building/fire code requirements (access, egress, ceiling height / fire separation, etc), your first requirement is zoning:  does zoning allow for the additional unit and does the property meet the zoning requirements (size, available parking, green space, etc) to allow an additional unit.

Me & my team will want to meet with one the day after we arrive. 

I've done a number of deals as a buyer and that's usually how we arrived at it.Of course, you also need to see if the owner can do the financing. 

I just hand him the keys when he arrives?
