Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

Do not communicate with anyone about this property until you have a signed contract that youve delivered to your title company.

Make sure they at least deliver all of the things your current management company does (in terms of tenant screening, tenant moving out, responsiveness, maintenance, etc).If you like your current management, you can try to negotiate some terms with her (perhaps offer to take pictures yourself, or do the listing yourself, etc).Hope that helps!

no em delivered as per offer,  no valid contract.

ALL rules but ONE are things you can instantly do without any mentorship or education other than what you can find on youtube.

It's a big deal for a pet-friendly home.So I am happy to continue paying a fair wage for my cleaners and deliver 5-star cleanliness - vacuum, dust, wash and lint-roll EVERYTHING.

There's a group for everything so you'll be able to instantly find a captive audience for your content.

Does this mean you all have Instant Booking turned off?

See what your lease about the landlords failure to comply with the terms.If window treatments are not specifically mentioned, then see if your lease has wording to indicate that you are accepting the apartment in the condition in which is was delivered (mine does).

I figured that if I can purchase a discounted off-market deal with hard money, increase its value, then refinance it through conventional financing with lets say 85% LTV (enough to pay back the HML), I can have instant equity that I can tap into later.What do you guys think?
