At this point I am focused on finding partners who I can trust to help with the reformation estimates & work as well as an agent who can lend their expertise to determine the rental potential of any unit with better confidence.

 $1,000 cash bonus if under contract by a particular date (paid through the broker)MLSPIN rules state that commission must be stated as a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the sales price, but either is acceptable.I recently saw new construction where the builder was so confident of selling it himself that he listed it with a $1.00 commission!

The self dealing seems to be out of play because there really isnt a rule that says a close relationship cant buy something from you. 

We are fairly confident that we can negotiate a favorable seller financed deal.

Does anyone have experience self-managing Indiana rental properties from out of state?

Currently Rent = $800.00 / $900.00If I purchase I would live in one unit and receive $900.00/mon. rent I would self manage the property Any help would be greatly appreciatedThank you Ty Ramjohn

Talking about what happens if we go unemployed is a completely different thread - but i'm fortunately not a w-2 earner (self employed) so I feel less stress when I think of "losing my job", because i'm not going to fire myself (that isn't to say that something couldn't take my business away)

The rental amount and then with good local advice from the PM makes me fairly confident on judging an area. 

However, if you come across as confident. 

How do I get my self off this deed so that the city does not bother me. 1.
