With the college, the hospital, and tourists in the summer there will always be a demand for rental property.As an aside, my wife grew up in Newcastle and attended Lincoln Academy.

I'd never even think about going to a meetup that prohibits certain individuals from attending. 

@Seth Borman I have no experience when it comes to solar power and the demand the heating will put on the system. 

Also looking for a good reliable cleaner that could come on demand to turn the place over if we were unable to.

Mainly from google, but also from books from individuals such as David Greene and  Dave Van Horn. 

It seems like Phoenix is growing rapidly and that they are building down there and it won't be anytime too soon that the supply will meet the demand.

Technically, banks do want you  as an individual listed on the property.

If it's priced right, you'll get an agent's or individual's attention.

You must talk to some hard money lenders (which can range from a private individual with cash to lend, to a quasi-mortgage broker who does HML and bridge loans - the former often being the easiest/quickest/simplest to the work with, the latter often being more like applying for a conventional mortgage), because you have to know the following about your financing options/costs in order to evaluate potential deals:LTV/down payment requirements, and whether they cover just purchase, or both purchase and rehab costs.

@Siler CogginsI have a feeling this individual, (unless they have some deficiencies) does not have a bank account for a good reason.
