Great stuff!!

My mother went through one and she just hired a couple college kids to move all the stuff so she did not have to.

You still can serve carpenters, plumbers, IT professional, interns, political operatives, and many more professionals.

I'll make sure to take pictures and write notes on the stuff I find fishy.

You're right, if the current guy cannot get the grass to stay nice, then most other tenants will have no chance (if they even care which is doubtful)I would take out the grass and bring in DG....the gold stuff is a bit more expensive but worth it.

Under contract for $1,275,000, accounted for 1% closing costs, and threw in 50k for capex stuff (turnover and one of the roofs need to be replaced).

I see stuff all over the place.

I saved the BP calculator that I ran on that deal because it was our first big plunge into this REI stuff. :) Once we were in our unit, we were "paying rent" (to ourselves of course) to the tune of $700 a month.

As for being four hours away, much of the buying process is done remotely anyways.Would I need to commute there on a regular basis or can I do most of the stuff virtually.

You can get away with the old stuff for years but if you plan to remodel a unit get ready for surprises and a big renovation budget.
