You don't want to trip over dollars picking up pennies. 

Take field trips to other areas and compare prices to what you see back home.

If you didn't, then take the $175 as the cost of not making the trip yourself.

Will hit you up for sure before my next trip out.  

This has actually built good relationships with the seller if you are a good communicator, which I am.Also understand there is a large group of "haters" on here that are going to bite everyones ear off and talk about the disadvantages of "sub-2s" and tripping Article 14 in the loan called "Due on Sale" clause.

First thought that came to my mind were my family trips to the Poconos as a kid...in the winter.

It is amazing to see how many people can't control their self in situations as simple as walking and following a thousand other people who have no problems with tripping and falling.You are most-likely not liable if someone falls, but you will certainly be liable if you provide some sort of transportation to get to your property.

Then, volunteer for TDYs to those locations and use those TDYs to explore and refine your information (PAID TRIP!).

My experience is after the first month of rehabbing and leasing maybe one or 2 trips a year.

Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.
