A desire and ability to share their knowledge4.

I have heloc's against my equity and have basically an unlimited ability to do commercial mortgages with 2 banks I work with.  

If you go ahead and get a value add project how much trouble will tenants make and possibly delay your ability to perform.

These include access to easier and better financing opportunities, the ability to quickly grow one's rental property portfolio, and the luxury of hiring a property manager.All the best!

Do you have the ability to go see it in person?

Your vacancy would be heavily dependent on your ability to screen well. if you have good screening, and you didn't buy in one of the bad parts of East Chicago, you should be able to get some fairly stable tenants. 

It removes them from the grey area while allowing them the ability to offer more solutions to homeowners (cash offer, traditional listing etc.). 

Hi MKE self-managing landlords, I'm wondering about your opinions on having the ability to delegate rental turnover showings or repair coordinations on-demand to a real estate agent for a fee?

You could rehab something to look like the White House and never rent it for a decent amount because the amount of crime in the area (not to mention the condition of the surrounding properties) will deter anyone who has the financial ability to be even remotely choosy about where they live. 

i’m very close to changing employers, and they have the ability to discontinue the connection with my current employer within my current 401(k).
