As a long distance investor you will want to make sure you work with a property management firm like Bungalow specifically built for rent-by-the-room strategies as they function more like long-term AirBnB’s.

I know of a functioning garage for sale for $6MM in Manhattan, if you have any interest.

Since the line was still functional, I had time to perform a permitted repair.

Another function of PetScreening.com is that they track the animal’s vaccination and let the tenant and LL know when a vaccination is due. 

I'd sell the car for a functional beater if not too far upside down.   

Once you have a short list, get an account with each one and run them through the wringer to see how they really function.

We added value by updating the furnishings, integrating systems, raising prices, and improving the overall functionality of the house as a business operation.

Although the search function on BP leaves little to be desired, it has some usefulness.

With a rental if to make it a functional, occupy-able rental you buy it, hold it for 3 months while fixing things, do renovations to make it livable. 

Bedrooms require two points of egress (door and window, two doors, etc.) so your inspector should have noticed this was a non-functional window and you could have/should have replaced it before placing a tenant.
