Yeah, my loan would incorporate all of the rehab and purchase price of the home itself into one big, interest only loan. 

So between my acquisition and renovation phase, I probably spend on average 20 hours between management of my contractors, coordinating materials, designs, or even physically assisting in the renovation, though 95% of it I sub out.

EXTREMELY long distance.Here is is the hard bottom line to your issue.You need to be able to trust the person physically evaluating the property.If you are unsure, then wait.

While living there take average of say 6-8 months to get idea and incorporate that into the rent price, only if rents can be suitable for your rental market.

At the end of the lease, we will incorporate the same flooring, paint, kitchen, and bath improvements to the other side.

Personally, I would incorporate all these into my direct mail campaign.

I need to at least incorporate some sort of planner.

I'm a new investor looking to invest out-of-state and have heard its recommended to physically visit the area you are interested in. 

Have a notebook exclusively for this -digital or physical-, and carry it everywhere.
