Now I’m not worried because o have automated online systems for rent collection, contractors and licensed repair professionals on speed dial, and I have some boots on the ground in the form of family who can lend their knowledge and keep an eye out for me.My first thought to this question is : if I’m worried that it may be too far ,then for me it may be too far.I could never do a flip that far away, IMO.

You’ll have some trial and error along the way but you’ll learn as you go.As far as what’s in David Greene’s book, I think it’s good in a way but it glosses over a lot of the details and finer points.  

That's my excuse for ready with my eyes and, sleeping with my brains...and the loan in question I got was a 403b.

And after some good suggestions I’m going to start making more detailed lists for each property and how I can update them without breaking the bank. 

@Daniel Dietz , If this deal is done via LLC, you need either article of incorporation that is detailed enough and plus an operating agreement. 

More details would definitely help to attract more eyes to the post and help solve your dilemma I think.

Way to go and thank you for sharing in such detail!!

Properties are flying with the blink of an eye.

To me, this question has many details for my answer. 

It has been very gratifying to take something that was an eye sore and turn it into a beautiful home for someone.
