I made a trip to Richmond this past weekend and looked around Henrico and Chesterfield areas.

For out of state I would suggest making a trip to the actual state you are considering and sight seeing the neighbourhood.

After tripping over this sight a few weeks ago I am happy to say I am placing my first bid on a property this morning!

Trip charge may be more than the repair cost. 

Spending a couple of weekends in TN, WV, OH can be a great weekend away to go see some great properties and you can write the who trip off your taxes.

Took a trip down to Baltimore today, to check out the possibility for growth and development.

It's not truly a remote deal, as long as you're willing to make the trips down here relatively regularly.

The guests pay $.25/mile for every mile over what I set, $50/hr for every hour they are late (billable after the first 15 minutes), and they pay cleaning fees for crumbs.Best of all, should they get in an accident, my cars are fully covered by TURO which has happened and I have recouped more than half of the what I paid for in the first month.It requires a lot of photo documentation 24 hrs before and after the trips to prove damage but this can be done 100% without meeting the guests face to face (remote).TURO as a company itself has a grey business model and in would highly recommend NOBODY to lease or finance cars just for this.I wanted to share this with BP for those who are handy with cars and want another source of cashflow.

So even if you FSBO it, there's a good chance you will have a Realtor asking you for a buyer side commission AND have to deal with all of the aggravation involved in selling (marketing, paperwork, inspections, etc).Either you don't think your time is worth a couple of grand and would rather trip over dollars to save a penny or this is a veiled attempt at marketing a property on BP outside of the Marketplace and should be flagged.List it already.

If you don't want to buy in an area with friends and family who are willing to do that, then buy in an area where you could do day trips.
