@Kirk OlsonWhat's driving the LTL, is it that units need updating?  

That will largely drive away a certain type of clientele.  

I would like to drive by the property, at least in the beginning. 

Any appreciation we get will be by driving the net income up over time. 

I am trying to figure out how much I will charge for rent once I purchase this home, but none of the surrounding homes are currently for rent.

If anyone is interested in properties around asheville and surrounding areas please get in contact with me.

I plan on driving around and maybe seeing a few houses but is there something else I could do?

My wife is currently taking classes to get her RE agent license to lower some of the evaluation barriers when driving for dollars as well as easier access to MLS data.We are always looking to improve our market knowledge, we would love to hear of any advice or potential deals you might & we are willing to share all that we know as well.Let me know if you would like to chat sometime!

I've been consuming many of Josh and Brandon's podcasts on my drive to and from work and just recently finished reading the very common "Rich Dad Poor Dad."  

Is the population on a decline or increase in the cities and surrounding communities?
