@Thomas GarzaMy fiancee is a realtor and a property manager, as myself, I mork for an investor friendly mortgage company as a loan officer.

Retail strip centers, Office / Medical buildings,  Restaurant buildings, Gas stations,  industrial office.Of course, the Cap Rate  ( income % ) is an important factor for me.So, some thoughts on Las Vegas investments in the $1.5M-$3M range ?

I would speak to the Sewage Enforcement Officer to determine if the drain field needs to be moved and if there is space for an alternate location and if the new location would pass a perc test. 

In one case I assigned a power of attorney and had someone sign for me, in another case I paid the notary fees at the US consulate office (very expensive though @ ~$100 per notary) then FedEx'd the docs for closing.

My guess is that in any office with 25 agents 4 or 5 may own an investmenthat property all the others are someone you shouldn't liston to.

The other thing you could do is just knock on the doors and ask the tenants politely if you could just check out the unit.  

I just did a google  search for "Why is my bank asking me what I am going to do with a cash out refi" like it is any of their business and I came across this.I did tell them it was to buy more properties and my loan officer said no don't say that! 

I am more risk adverse so I would not count on long term appreciation with a negative cash flow property especially in DC/NOVA...there is always a ceiling on how high the appreciation can go when you are already starting out with average home costs for a basic house that needs heavy cosmetic rehab funding on top of the over $350K - $450K house in an Ok area of DC/NOVA.I submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request at the County Code Enforcement office and got a list of blighted (Vacant) and other code violation properties.
