I already have several properties pre-selected based on financials and return.

It is possible but will depend on that seller selected escrow company.

FIND WHERE YOUR BUYERS ARE BUYING. 1.Pick a county you are interested in targeting. 2.Google "xxxxx county heat map" and select the search result from trulia.com to view the map of the county you want to target.

You can get the tiles as low as $3 a foot, and there is a decent selection at $5 a foot.

Not only do you want rents, but you want to generate additional traffic in the store too, so select your option carefully. :)

Custom pools and buyer select pools are not available.

I'm optimistic about our selections, but we'll see.

Management company I selected and their history and track record. 6.

I am looking for information (I have purchased the J Scott books) that goes in depth on product selection for a rehab.

The thought of buying properties out of my market/state has crossed my mind, but after owning multiple rentals for a few years know I would not even consider it anymore.I've seen first hand how crappy property managers can totally destroy a home by selecting bad renters, and then not properly handling turnover, maintenance, etc....Then there's the issue of overpaying because you aren't familiar with the foreign market.
