There is a real element of risk in making a no-inspection contingency offer.If you are determined to do this, inspector or no, you can rent a sewer scope from a place like Sunbelt here in Pittsburgh and run it through the sewer line from the house to the street.

While we get to Florida every few years, Sebring ends up far enough out of the path to rank pretty low on the travel priority.  

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

I'm new to all of this, but trying to learn as much as possible and position myself to find that first deal ASAP.Bear with me here.I'm looking for a robust program which will allow me to enter a smattering of criteria and parameters, then will allow me to view a ranked list of results. 

You want to focus on the 2 main elements that make up your revenue 1) # of nights booked and 2) Average Daily rate.When I calculate my revenue assumptions I create 9 different columns.  

In my opinion, this is the most critical element of the note business.

The Outer Banks and Hatteras Island have been ranked by many different references for the best beach vacation destination and best beach towns to invest in.
