@Julian Pilate-Hutcherson We work almost exclusively with OOS investors and it's a mixed bag...I sold 3 MF properties this month to folks that have never been to the state...and I have another set of clients that have been in the market for months and make routine visits to the city...I think it has a lot to do with comfort-level...truth told, we can leverage technology and get every possible detail on the table for review to make a pretty informed buy/pass decision...combined with an inspection and appraisal, there is really no need to be here in person looking at deals....

The jury is out on that one.But your transaction is pretty benign if you follow the extra steps.

@Andrew Postell that post is exactly the detailed information I was looking for, thank you!!

The mentioned house looks reasonable to me , recent renovation , ok-ish size, realtor link:https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/...Not sure if it is qualified for 1400 range :)

Just need to be extra cautious that I am following the rules & regs.

I would love a side job in real estate to learn and earn a little extra money.

Some cities will not even allow us to expand a driveway or add extra parking to the more than adequate front lawn.Then again we inherited a duplex that had parking on the block behind the home.

I was away for work and did not have time to get into the details with the bank at the time. 

The only possible gripe you can have that would have some legs would be that they are sending you an owner statement as opposed to providing you with an online portal to possibly view things sooner but to expect them to call you about every minute detail the moment it happens is not a realistic expectation.

For those who might not be familiar here are just some the incentives:5 years 10% off capital gains7 years 15% off capital gains10 years or more investor pays 0% on gains plus untaxed appreciation on specefic zones.I’m still getting familiar with the details of the program across all the states to pull money from unrealized gains from Investors across dIfferent asset sectors to revitalize these communities instead of using tax dollars.
