I think I've talked to maybe 2 tenants on the phone so far, and I didn't mind because there's a lot of scams online.

This has been the most successful model I have seen in real estate.This goes 100% against every guru and investor the past 5 years of get rich quick of buy, rehab, rent and refinance with little money - that video game is out of order so the gurus need to reinvest themselves and they are trying with seller financing and zero down.

Picture this: 3 pools and hot tubs, a dynamic game room, a versatile venue, pickle-ball courts, outdoor theater, mini-golf, and more.

Your story proves that being in the game creates opportunities you can’t plan for.

A national buyer would review the BPO and maybe do some brief online research, but would not typically not know, as in your example, about the sewage issues or extent of interior rehab needed.

Since the last time I was online, I have grown the investing to fix and flipping and a portfolio of 4 properties that are producing passive income.  

Monitoring open windows isn't feasible in my case, but I can definitely monitor daily electricity usage online  

Dig deep for online reviews, Better Business Bureau and their State Real Estate Board, etc.- Do be open-minded though as we have many of the above from tenants who claim we illegally evicted them (so, somehow we got a signed Write illegally?)

Go to courthouse in city where your rental is, or see if docket is available online, and write down the names of the attorneys with the most landlord-tenant cases.

I personally focus on DSCR investment loans and creative investment financing strategies, so I am happy to connect with you and talk about a game plan.
