There is a big difference between fixed costs vs sliding costs based on how large the project is.

Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

If everyone can just work together things go a lot smoothly!

These are dual-track storms - the inside window slides up and down while the screen remains in place with a window above.... except the screens are missing, and I cannot replace the storms at this time.

Hope it all goes smoothly for you:)

Better to let this deal slide by rather than pull the trigger and be sorry for years to come. 

Some goals of attending meetups are to 1) learn and 2) be memorable (in a good way lol)1) Like what @Lamart Glenn Jr said, you can bring a notebook to jot down information, take pictures of slides with information, or maybe even record the conversations.2) As others have mentioned, go and introduce yourself to other members and genuinely listen when they talk about their experiences and advice; people love to talk about themselves.

From experience, his closing date may slide and he may be begging you to stay longer.  

Sounds like a smooth and simple deal.

With them, you can keep your property in top condition and make sure that everything runs smoothly!
