Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.

Our companies are running smoothly and on track with our goals.

Do not smooth over the numbers to make it look good (That is what Sellers do!).

My application process went smooth and yes we paid the sign up fee for the 100% financing, Yes we have an adviser, Yes we have a project manager.Yes we have access to 3 deals at a time, Yes the 1st evaluation is free and we have to pay for the others, I made sure to ask every question there is.

This is our first time attempting to buy a home and everything has been smooth up to this point.

Watching the process and seeing that if I had all of my ducks in a row as a landlord it was a smooth process and the judge actually appreciated when independent landlords came before the courts and knew the law and followed the law. 

If things are going smoothly, and we want to renegotiate terms with the seller, we may exercise our option and keep this in place for another 5 years.

Smooth ceilings aren’t going to move the needle on tenant pool or rent.

So, it hasn't always been smooth sailing, but I've learned some valuable lessons.

You need a fairly smooth, finished surface.
