So if you have a community that has easier transportation to town or business hubs (Cranberry, SouthPointe, Moon, etc.) then you have a higher livable rate even if the traditional mill or mining jobs have dried up.

I have some other exterior features plus an interior dehumidifier all of which keep the basement dry. 

The hardest part is finding it, the easy part is pulling the trigger!

If you wouldn’t mind temporary negative cash flow and owning rental from OOS(potentially) then pull the trigger and ride it out.

If the lawyer decides to follow through with collecting on the fees we can go back to the courts and demonstrate the extended time frame that the entire process took, citing that the probate process for a pretty cut and dried case took nearly two years.

They were in bad, bad shape in spots but I spackled the damaged areas (it took multiple attempts in spots due to shrinking of the spackle as it dried) but it was a success. 

If the property won't work as investment-only, know that before you pull the trigger.

You are out of state, and contractors know out of state buyers rarely pull the trigger on a deal, so they go where they are more likely to get paid, usually with someone they have worked with in state before..

Apparently it is only supposed to be at 60-70 PSI.My contractor in CLE told me to cut a hole in the drywall and let it dry out because you can't paint over it and you need to make sure the moisture gets out and no mold. 

I’ve had so many deals slip through my fingers for one reason or another: not pulling the trigger fast enough, being too timid, just bad timing or not knowing what to do with the property.
