I go back for work occasionally and may be relocated back at some point, which is part of the reason I'm considering Springfield and NWA.

Dog parks, Reddit, Facebook, Cigar lounges, breweries, instagram, youtube, and the occasional real estate meet up

I've been burned before but have never made any serious personal mistakes in RE (aside from occasionally working with bad consultants). 96% of my problems have been caused by other parties.

I am not really doing anything for the $150 beyond occasionally driving by (which is on my way to places I would already be going, but I get to log mileage expense.)As @Mark S. tried to explain to you, cash flow is only one aspect of a real estate investment. 

So just let them know anyone who is going to be around that frequently needs to screened, and listed as an additional or even "occasional" tenant.

I work for a billionaire property investor and occasionally we talk shop, and that makes it difficult to not want to take large but potentially risky chances!

There occasional time where issues pop up but they'll be handled and you be assured a clear and marketable title.

As a Rehabber, and an occasional wholesaler I prefer sending  a bank statement to the seller, and as a wholesaler I require a bank statement and not a Pre-approval from my buyers.

When he first bought it, doing the rehab we would hear an occasional strange noise, but brushed it off as it was a half-double and figured it was just noise from the other side.

Engineers that came to California on contracts and travel nurses were our primary clients as well as the occasional family that was looking for a house while there own home was being built.
