I am however a seasoned sub contractor (over 20 years) specializing in custom works but well versed in all aspects of interior and exterior Carpentry.

We’re a military family and we do have two boys so as you all have heard or argued yourself about safety or raising a family while running a rental could be hectic for sure.

I ask have they been to the area before, will they be bringing a dog and if they are celebrating any special occasion.

I am fairly handy, but I want to buy in a good neighbourhood that will appreciate well and attract quality tenants.I am assuming it would be very beneficial to speak with a local mortgage broker and real estate agent that specializes in real estate investing, but don't know any. 

Before my last big career change, I refinanced my property to a very specialized 1st position Heloc that's tied to a ZBA.

(I adopted a special needs baby in 2020 and he has 3 to 5 medical appointments a week, so that can keep us busy.)

My practice is to refer buyers to the websites listing qualified (InterNACHI or ASHI here in NM) inspectors and let them contact some to find out what inspections they perform, what special equipment they might use, how much they cost, are 2nd visits after repairs included in the cost and how far out they’re booking.The buyer books the inspections.Licensing is just going live here and so I will ensure buyers are given the opportunity to hire fully licensed inspectors.

HOA has a good amount in reserves, hasn't had any special assessment fees and covers everything except gas and electric which is pretty attractive for future tenants.
