However, if you check income and there are some red flags i.e. very low income in a higher income area, you'll want to make sure that the specific neighborhood isn't dramatically different than the immediate area.

Being the bottom floor will be under full construction anyway, I rather address all electric/water issues in the beginning. 3) What kind of permit requirements/red tape have you encountered for another meter/adding a well?

Nature, red in tooth and claw, is what does it.

Or most likely it's red states. 

The extra weight of the trees just pops the stump and roots out when the fall. 

There is a lot of opportunity here in Jacksonville currently with the market being hot and if somebody is available to do what you need I think it would throw up a red flag so just be careful.

@Christian Albright To add a little insight for your goals, there are lots of great properties in west Denver, I've done the rent-by-the-room strategy to great success from the selling points in Westwood that you mentioned, and the demographic of rent by room people will like the proximity to 6th Ave to go to the mountains, Red Rocks, close to downtown, lightrails, etc.   

At that price though my numbers quickly go red.

- How were you able to assess the property (check for red flags, possible approaching large expenses, etc) , given you are deployed in Hawaii but investing on Virginia?

The delinquent account thing is concerning, again, look at the data and see what the root of the problem is.
