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.

Typically when I buy from wholesalers, I have it in my contract that property will be delivered vacant at COE.

With 16 months of consistent cold calling/mailing, you should find some potential owners that will be willing to sell by the time you're ready to buy.

They provide a lot of investor leads as well as resources and training consistently.

I am in the process of buying one probably that has a bunch of stuff on it oil tankes etc.. and the seller is going to remove everything I told him I would pay him 150k more for it if he does all the remediaiton and delivers mean a clean ready to subdivide parcel.. worth it to me.

Instead of being 100% occupied or 0% occupied, your vacancy rate would be more consistent (4 out of 5 rooms rented = 80%).

I aslo see that your boundaries are not consistant.

@Justin Moy Saying 'no' is something I had to perfect with my handyman services company and understand the value in being able to do what I way I will and over deliver whenever possible.Aloha @Richard F.!

One provider is asking for close to $2k more in fees and I don't see how they would be providing any further benefit vs another company if their results should be consistent with any other cost seg study.
