Sounds like a few red flags to me, no keys to house and they are telling you that you may not be able to inspect the house. ??

And if it sounds too good to be true, its usually not true.

That all sounds great, assuming the investment performs the way the example works.  

You need a legal professional who is tough when needed, wise and very experienced.Legal expenses are deductible against taxable income if you're structured properly.Then again, this is the type of expense you should only need to put out once.All that said, of course, it sounds like you need to be dealing with the local LLC-friendly banks. 

In the video I show how I end up replacing most of the suggested comps with comps pulled from Redfin and the justification behind it, but the punchline is that it helps you come up with an accurate number doing what @Hem Kumar said: "...make adjustments for unique features and amenities..."

It sounds like your goal is to get out of the rat race.

It sounds like if we are making verbal offers, I should make sure my realtor really stresses that I am ready and capable to make the offer and have the numbers to justify my offer price, and also make sure the "offer" is reaching the ears of the seller and not stopping at his/her realtor.But I think I'm leaning toward official full package offers with a "heads up" call from my realtor to the seller/seller's agent.

Good way to replace your income. 

., but it sounds like the bank still would need to accept the offer anyways. 

Sounds like a good course for a cheap price.
