I myself do not plan to sell homes for a longer period of time, but I know that things change as we can't predict the near future so I'm trying to be open to things of that nature.Having explained this - sorry its long - are there any recommendations for either side of this?

The rest of the "two hours" is drive-time, walking the property, taking notes, etc.

Hi Jessica,I'm not local to Vegas, but was interested in investing there for a period of time, so did the necessary research, made a trip there and found a team to make the transactions work.

This doesn't make sense.In NNN the leases are highly defined with primary term periods and then OPTIONS.

Had to visit to find out "the rest of the story".

Just be sure that the financing and appraisal contingencies last through those six months.Alternately, you could ask the owner to carry the financing for a period of time in order to reduce the purchase price by reducing the principal.

If you're going to be gone for an extended period of time or have the heat off, make sure you winterize.

You will do really well in the winter, then it will mostly sit empty the rest of the year.

It was under contract 4 times with 2 buyers bailing near the end of the inspection period... one gave no reason, one cited "past evidence of termites in the attic" (1930's house in FL) the third forfeited his EMD when he couldn't come up with the cash to close in the end and finally the 4th buyer actually followed through.

With pipes bursting, is it something that either happens or not--or is it something that happens after extended periods of freezing?
