Purchasing a property out of state was a challenge with not being able to see it in person prior to closing.

Hey @Jarrett Fogelman - I personally advise against adding solar panels to your home if you're going into it with the mindset that you'll regain the $$ when you sell. 

When you go to refinance into a long term loan your personal credit score will 100% matter.

Each policy is different so when you call you insurance person ask.Proper, Foremost and many others now offer STR policies.

It is my understanding that if you enter into the lease knowing of the foreclosure and placing a tenant anyway, then the lease is essentially deemed invalid as you and the tenant knew that it was a matter of time before they were evicted.Also there is an assignment of rents in residential mortgages as well, and doing this may open you up to a lawsuit by the mortgage holder since you essentially stole potential rent from them.And finally if the plan is actually to buy an HOA lien and wait until a foreclosure, I think that falls under unethical practices and would never do that, or encourage anyone else to either.

As for our personal experience in staying in RV park there are quite a few reasons why RVers will choose certain parks above others, but the biggest ones for us were easy to navigate and informational websites, advertising, good pricing and great reviews. 

If you hire an inspector, don't use their person to scope the sewer, find a local reputable plumber, they may know the history of the area and or the building.

@TJ Case this is always a tough thing to me when one person is "the contractor".

Goal of 6 properties in total (including personal home)2016The plan: Ramp up my purchasing schedule - having built more resources, developed a level of comfort and understanding of the processes of deal finding, purchasing strategies, and other aspects of buy and hold investing.

My personal opinion is that having savings in hard assets such as Gold, Silver, and BTC may be a good idea but I have not heard of any companies that would do that transaction.
