In the event of something urgent, you could have a handyman or relative swing by.As for holding off on the purchase, as the market is cooling, and we're moving into the slow season, things are less competitive for buyers than they've been in a while.All that said, if you were really leaning towards a traditional rental, many investors have been buying in Pueblo. 

Traditional VA Loan How did you add value to the deal?

@Alex Jacobson the rental market is slowing down, so you may want to consider using the more traditional 10% vacancy factor.

You can leave them running at night without having to load it like a traditional wood stove. 

Hard money lenders are generally much more expensive that traditional banks and lenders for example.

One company owns everything and does nothing (this is your SLLC a/k/a “asset holding company”) and a completely separate company handles all of your operations (this is a traditional LLC a/k/a “operating company”) For the operating company which serves as your face to the world and through which you do all your business, you establish a Traditional LLC to carry out the operations of your investments.

Be sure that you highlight that "selling your house can be easier than you think" with the advantages of working directly with you instead of the more traditional route.

Manufactured homes may or may not include the land, most of the time you dont, which means you pay land rental fees etc, also financing are not as attractive, they are usually personal loans with high interest and not traditional 30 year mortgage.

Jack and Jill first time buyers that only use traditional methods of buying off the MLS may be buying at the top of their market cycle, but maybe not. 

Do you think it is better with the traditional way of just going with friends and family and building out your investor group?
