Hi @Benjamin Cowles -I'm sorry you find this feature to be a nuisance,  but we do this in order to make sure people aren't able to send spam or advertisements promoting themselves to other members without a connection.

Also look at significant features such as swimming pools (here in Florida).

I ask because remote management is definitely doable but your property is on the small side and the bigger it is (or becomes) the more money you will ultimately make. 

This property has some unique features so I decided to turn it up a notch and do something different with cabinet colors and other finishes. 

One feature you might want to add to your posting is a comparison of multi-family to SFR (4 or fewer units).  

One great feature that rental websites have is syndication.

For example, if you are looking to connect with other members near you, want to learn from people in a specific area you’d like to invest in, or have a desire to find people interested in certain topics, you could use the search feature here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search/usersI really like the alerts feature that can quickly guide you to current topics that may be of interest: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts

Walk through the dining room into the brand new kitchen featuring all new white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, SS appliances, tile backsplash and a large island.

I think you can have both scale and diversity in portions which achieve your overall goals.If you are a remote investor, and using property management, there will be a threshold of scale - number of units you hold in a single market - which will garner you a better rate/unit for property management costs.On the macro-economic level, distribution of holdings in different regions (states/provinces, countries) with diverse economic drivers and a low-level of coupling will help smooth the bumps of fluctuation in local economies.So perhaps it is not a question of Dallas or Indianapolis, but one of how much Dallas and Indianapolis and do your acquire them in parallel or sequentially.

There's a ton of info on BP (use the search feature at the top of the page)Basically, you need to be aware that you'll need a hefty downpayment - probably 25%, maybe 20%.
