I'd be happy to have lunch or coffee or something and talk through anything you are thinking.Cody Bacon

My income tax returns show that I make good money, so I thought this would not be an issue.

Owners of some conventional high-rises that were built to serve the corporate culture of the 20th century have responded to the trend by making the outdoor spaces they do have more welcoming, with gardens, coffee stations, decks and seating meant to reverse the air of exclusivity prized by builders and tenants in the 1980s.

Shouldn't be an issue as long as no problems with title.A Quit Claim deed doesn't guarantee a clean title, but you could still have one.

I've replaced so many of these over the years & it can be an easy job if the pipe runs are accessible or a nightmare if you need to go through walls.The last one was a MF that had a mixture of Galv & 3/8 water Cu lines connected without any catalytic protection so the joints all had severe galvanic corrosion & were leaking.

I would pass along Ryan Jone's of Jones Property Law to you as a skilled Real Estate Attorney with a consultative mindset that could be an asset to you here!

I'd like to own this property in "appreciation" markets (obviously with a small cashflow would be an ideal), and based on my market research, am more interested in Florida, Atlanta, Charlotte and north Dallas.

There has to be an answer for it, right?

The cash flow is marginal, it needs improvements to be rent ready, and you would be an inexperienced long distance landlord.

Since this will be an out-of-state investment purchase, we are  having trouble figuring which areas of Fayetteville are good, making sure not to overpay for a property, finding a real estate agent in the area and good PM.
