Levi T. your advice is not going to get this guy anywhere ... your not really understanding how these closing process really work.

I know most investors want to stay away from condos, me too at the beginning, but it worked out really well, so I want to do more of those, until the next crash, where the prices will be more affordable... 

If you can afford to invest within driving distance, you'll save yourself money and headaches.

.$2500 seems high...not sure on sizeFlooring seems high - not sure on size...regional flooring companies in my market are very affordable and reliablePlumbing and electrical - I don't have plans to re-plumb or re-wire units every 20-30 years but do include estimated cap ex for fixtures.Off topic but consider LVT rather than laminate wood...it's very durable and can get wet.  

It can be a good idea in some circumstances, but I'm just curious how you numbers afford it.  

I could not make this sh*t up if I tried!

HI @Stacey T Rodgers, Glad to have you on here.

That way you can know how much you can afford.

I don't read the news much, but I can't think of one time either of those two places made the headlines unless there was a tornado or something...And just to handle a potential objection that always pops up when people decide to invest 1,000+ miles away from where they live:Objection: Properties are more affordable there than where we currently live.Objection Handler: You can get a "more affordable" meal off the dollar menu at McDonald's, but I bet you don't go out to eat there on a Friday night.
