Got an expensive termite & crawl space repair needing to be done before closing required by the underwirter, totaling about 8K, including termite treatment, organic growth treatment, digging out dirt for enough crawlspace height clearance, stiff legs insulation, vapor barrier, 6 crawl space vents (2 powered & 4 regular), and 5 vent wells. 

Some properties may have operating expenses much high, others spot on, others much lower.Any individual property should be fully analyzed and underwritten to give a good idea how thay particular property will perform.

Very well done and spot on! 

., you are absolutely spot on and the reason for such surge in finding investors to identify properties for these individuals (mainly beginners) is because they are afraid and need that comfort of having someone that knows what they are doing.

Tough spot. 

If you entertain this, make sure you have significant cash reserves on hand, as a Roth is a great all-around retirement vehicle... once you take the money out, you lose that spot to put it back.  

To crawl on? 

"Can you tell the (insert floor) tenants to stop parking in my spot?"

There are free educational resources on each of those to get you started, but as you get deeper, @Paul Moore's advice to pay for good education is spot on, particularly for the more active strategies.If you want to do those OOS investing strategies you named, pick one market.

I like Cramer.....he's spot on so many times....not afraid to speak the truth, even when it is not popular.
