I am guessing the toilet/shower are not high efficiency, or maybe there's a leak, well that may be a value add I am more interested in offsetting the remaining cost to tenantsSome more background...Small town of about 20K people, ~25 min drive away from a large city.

Did you actually find it listed or just drive around and contact the owner from property records? 

I would love to come but don't know if I'll make it as Minot is 1 1/2 hours away for me (and I don't like driving in the dark).

There isn’t enough housing available, which, of course, drives up prices.

You might find something listed for less but competitive buyers drive the price up. 

Do you think long distance C/Dish class investing is a profitable endeavor for someone with the time and drive to commit to?

My partner on this one lived in Boson so he had a much farther drive then I did.

I’m driving my realtor crazy.. lol 

A busboy named Da'Shawn got blown away in the back alley trudging home from work two years ago (the makeshift memorial really brightens up the block) and the convenience store down the main drag did have that drive-by three years ago...the clerk (who I know) heard the shots, then a guy stumbled in covered in blood.and screaming, "Dey shot mah baby!"
