I heard this from a bigger player in our town about the current market and investors "Finding deals through realtors was how I bought 90% of my deals 18 months ago, but , in general, these days it isn't something I'm spending any time on because it's hard to make money competing against "investors" who ...frankly, don't care about or know how to, make money."

If things seem to be running pretty smoothly and normal, I would still follow-up to ensure that things aren't getting glossed over and swept under the rug, but I imagine a trip every year or two would be adequate.It may also depend on how your PM works.

Im assuming they are coming from basement and i do notice the back end of basment wall has an opening where they built an extension so assuming i would need to close this off and seal up all cracks/openings to ensure this does not happen again.

However, wanted to ensure I'm not wasting his time or mine.Any input is appreciated.

How can I ensure the numbers are legit?

What are your investing goalsPensacola is a great market but, as others have mentioned, you will want a great team on the ground here to ensure your success!

By understanding their rights, tenants can ensure that they are treated fairly and respectfully.

My word of caution, be careful of overleverage and ensure that all properties cashflow very well. 

The monthly salary evens out his cash flow and the commissions ensure that his incentives are aligned with mine (we both want to make as much profit as possible).

When rehabbing a property out of state, it's important to carefully verify the work of any contractors you hire to ensure that the work is being completed to your standards and specifications.
