She is highly motivated, customer service type person, driven to having happy customers.

We all know how expensive evictions are and I think it’s important to remember that our tenants are our customer.

Others may add to this thread, but my CONCLUSIONS here are: Full primer is NOT the industry standard unless the customer specifies.

Most title companies should be able to provide you with custom lists for free or very little cost.

Not supporting me, not taking my word over the guest, expecting the listing site to make my experience problem-free, stupid International customer support rep, why aren't they omniscient?

@Dave Foster thank you so much!

I'd say 75% of my offers are accepted and I've never hit something, some critical hidden issue, that significantly affected my expected bottom line.Lastly, I do this for custom-built duplexes and single-family -- I don't have the technical expertise to try this on something like a 40-unit complex.

Make sure to sit down with your agent and customize the bubbles of your search parameters, locations, unit count, and prices.

You could house hack one of these but without the appreciation acquired over time or the value add, your profit will be consumed at selling.I agree with @Nick Foster on get to know the area before purchase but I also think that it takes at least 5 years (without a value add) of ownership to have a decent chance of being financially better than having rented (due to the selling costs and the likely negative initial cash flow).Rent.
