@Skyler Martinson1) I would probably actually fly out there in order to do the following:* Drive/walk through the neighborhoods* Meet up in person with the property manager2) HUD is involved because my tenant gets some form of government housing subsidies, my tenant actually pays a tiny portion of the rent, most of the rent is paid by HUD

Although to be fair I was involved in 2 or 3 sales where the buyer (not represented by me) used them & did make it to the closing table.

No shortage of motivation here, I look forward to learning from everyone involved in this community !  

I have my inspection tomorrow and met with the broker today and he said they were just sent a letter from a lawyer saying the seller going to be sued relating to a separate business he’s involved in.

I know there are some tax advantages involved (currently my next reading topic).

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Still, real estate is different in that shelter is a necessity (versus say me selling pies, if I charge too much you can always buy cakes instead), which means that invariably government will be motivated to get involved.

Your accountant should be involved.

I've been involved and successful on hundreds of deals.

Tenants cant just consent to a solar company coming and installing panels on your house, you will be involved one way or another, most likely financially too.
