I've been asking more questions about the properties, specifically about some discrepancies with the numbers, and the broker I've been using has been somewhat hinting at the fact that nitpicking every little detail is more in the due diligence phase than the initial intro phase.  

Having a solid team on the ground will be key if your not actually going to be the boots on the ground.

I'm out of state but trying to get some contacts who are boots on the ground.

I would just keep it in mind as your negotiating on price and maybe even get an estimate or 2 from heating contractors for running ductwork during your inspection phase to get an idea of what you may be dealing with down the road.Good luck with your first purchase!

Hello Raheem,I'm still in the learning phase too so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I've heard people spend months planning and calling vendors and subs before ground breaking.

Just gotta build a better team or have a trusted boots on the ground.

If you can find common ground, the owner will feel much more comfortable with you.Hope this helps Jonathan; let me know if you have any other questions!

You could also have them officially apply to you and do full background checks, and if anything comes up, kick them out on that grounds.

Having someone with boots on the ground is, IMO, very important, even if you don't use them.
