@Bryan Devitt The area I am going to be covering is about 1000 sqft most of which is fairly square.

@Bryan VenableI think its very hard to start out at a distance. 

@Bryan Devitt and @Wayne Brooks I haven't had any real experience other than converting my primary to a rental, so my gut says the ownership stake and learning from the management aspect would be the value added to me.

But just couldnt beat out mainly foreign cash parkers.These fools better hope their appreciation play holds up...Originally posted by @Bryan S.

Good luck Even though you see no income verification advertised.. just try to get one.. as opposed to the massive amount NO doc no verf loans that were being written pre 08.markets were rentals were lost in droves were mainly in PHX  Vegas FLA  GA  and central CA... were the economy was very much based on new construction.. in the rust belt new construction does not drive the markets.. as existing homes are selling for less than replacement cost.. until that inverts I don't think in those cities..

@Bryan L. ok thanks for the advice.

Bryan, I was thinking along the same lines.

@Bryan Zuetel all contingencies.
