I have an alarm system with a panic button installed on each property for their safety and that of the unoccupied property. 

During the rehab, we encountered… a break-in that removed old radiators (fortunately, we were planning to remove them anyhow); a complete failure of the relatively new boiler; a complete failure of the A/C system; rotten floor joists in an existing addition; missing ceiling joists in an existing addition (only 4 joists over a 20’ span); a rotten subroof covered up by 5-10 year old shingles; and more.

I'm a little biased, but I think they have a great system for what's Super Tuesday here in Texas compared to other trustees on the courthouse steps!

(How convenient: he setup a system in which he can't be proved wrong)   He admits the math proves him wrong, but maintaims his viewpoint is correct.

*You need to attend some court sessions to see how the court system works.

It's made it a little challenging to figure out what neighborhoods are good and which are not so good, but I've been driving around a lot to get a better feel for the area.My long term goal is passive income from rentals, and from my research Spartanburg is at about 50% renters to owners, so that sounds like a great place for buy and holds.

Build the system, step away, be a service missionary with my wife and kids (e.g. bring clean water systems to third-world villages, disaster relief, etc.)"

It's easy if you have a system.  

I'm sure they have a lot to teach but I would have put myself in dire financial straits for that knowledge.
