For instance, Concord, Kannapolis, Gastonia, Indian Trail/Monroe are all sub cities that my investors and I are still finding opportunity in. 

What about the instance of a commercial loan? 

If it is not month to month, you are likely going to have to have multiple of these instances to get an eviction. 

For instance, Warren Buffet can afford to speculate on something with a $500k downside, because losing $500k is nothing to him...but, for a typical person, losing $500k on a speculative move could mean bankruptcy.This goes for speculation on future interest rates, home values, rent amounts, etc.

@Gurjot Grewal whether it's worth flying down I think depends partly on your situation (including your net worth, how many other properties you have, what your other obligations are, how much this Columbus property could hurt your net worth if things turned south, etc.).For instance, it's not worth it for Warren Buffet to fly out to a city to look at a $350k single family home before purchase because even if that property is a total disaster, it's just a tiny portion of his net worth...plus, he has much more valuable things to do with his time... 

I know in IL for instance all the deals I did there the real estate agents dont get anywhere near the closing process they just write the initial offer and DUCK. 

For instance, I’m in Miami and I wouldn’t rent a room in a big house and having to share it with strangers.

For instance, one broker might be able to get you terms that another cannot (so it pays to shop around).

This is an instance where step two needs to be lined up before step one.  

For instance, in California the following ABC test is used to make the distinction: A) The hirer actually and contractually does not control or direct the person in the course of their work; B) The work performed is outside the hirer’s normal business; and C) The worker also normally and independently performs that work for others.
