Local banks include sandy spring bank, there is navy federal credit as well, but google them and tons will pop up.

Painting the houses white would make it pop.

I know several landlords that do this and have no issues at all and any minor issue that pops up is dwarfed by the benefits of saving time and stress personally dealing with every viewing.

Buy big gutters with big down spouts, discharge the water buried in drain pipe at least 10ft from the foundation with a pop up on the end that can be cleaned.Cut back trees form house.

We do have meetups which cost $10 to cover the room expense however, we also have free events including mixers and pop ups. 

This was an older home so little things always seemed to pop up.

Purchase price: $95,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Home was originally purchased as a fix & flip, but decided to hold and try the rental market as the area of Indy is hyper-appreciating and higher-end rentals are starting to pop up around the neighborhood.

That type of deal can’t be found in the areas that have already popped. 

The reason I ask is that I've spent months ready, saving, learning, saving, combing listings etc.... and I'm getting to the point where I'm analyzing some deals, spending time in markets I'm interested in and really just getting used to the process.My next step I would like to do is start meeting with some agents/brokers and find some people I can connect with so that when something does pop up and things make sense, I have those people to help. 

And in another decade what you mentioned will fade and something else will pop up..
