Quote from @Sidney Duquette: Newer homes have firewalls between units and will provide better soundproofing.Nose travels much less in side-by-side units.

My wife and I lived in DSM for a couple years while traveling for a commercial construction company.

If you can cluster another one in the area, you will reduce your management costs and keep your travel the same.

It also bought us the freedom to travel without having much in the way of living expenses and opened up the possibility for us to cashflow while not in town.

That way they can turn on/off and doesn't really cost them travel time. 

Even in a faraway market you're talking a couple of days out of the year for travel.

I'm a travel RN with a few flips under my belt, one commercial property that turned out well, and am looking to purchase a property in New Braunfels, Tx to live in for potentially 6 months out of the year.

Relate to them based on where they might be traveling from, suggest a local hike/restaurant/attraction you like. 

I don't necessarily have the time for a reno/flip and I'm constantly travelling.

I'm a travel nurse and have been sending applications via email.
