I am trying to move forward very soon (as in less than a month) so hoping that starts me offi have almost 0 time to manage and i understand even TK with a property manager is not 0 effort but i work 90-100 hours per week at my W2 job so maybe focusing on less OOS investing or at least not too many far apart... 

There's enough distressed inventory to continuously operate for enough time to make sense to put in the effort to set up shop.Ignoring #2 completely, there's no cash flow in SF.

You also need to make a verifiable effort to lease or sell the property in the meantime.

We greatly expanded the scale of our efforts to develop our rental portfolio and haven't looked back since.

I work the Lehigh Valley and Monroe county markets, and most of my clients are out of state investors from NY/NJ.The good - with a little effort, you can definitely get deals that will cash flow in the $150 / unit range as completely passive assets.

Tearing down is more expensive and takes longer, especially when you factor in time and effort to get permits, zoning approval, environmental approvals, etc.

@Aaron WesterburgIt would probably be less effort to remove the vermiculate than to encapsulate it.

Of course, you have no way of knowing who will be responsible for what without suing, and that costs some money and effort, so you have to gauge for yourself what the likelihood might be that you get the other 50% out of the wife (or at all).

Usually the purchase is contingent to clear title and the bank will make every effort to sell a property with clear title (although the title is conveyed through a limited warranty deed or even a quit claim deed).

If you moved forward with them, I'd appreciate hearing about your overall experience with the mailings, coaching from the mentor and if there have been any deals as a result of your efforts.
