Welcome to BP @@Michael Matter Keep your eye out because Indy comes up in the forums a  fair amount.

Quick Background: I've been fairly successful in other areas of life and recently determined that moving towards passive income is the best way to achieve my financial/lifestyle goals.- I currently have 2 SFH properties- I have an LLC formed, but currently don't have any properties under it.

Can someone take a look and see if $17,500 is a fair cost in NYC or should I keep shopping around?

I will take your advised verify my area to be able to value the  house at a fair price for any  potential seller.

Follow all the steps and don’t cut any corners;  if your asset is a thousand miles away you have to do your homework, and it had better be managed someone you trust a fair bit.

I've experienced my fair share of bumps in the road, but I learned A TON along the way and things are stable now.

I’m from the Tri Cities are of Washington so fairly close.

It's supposed to ensure there are no surprises after closing.

A good track record of being fair with tenants.
