The outlet stores here have new appliances at a big discount because they were maybe floor models or they were delivered and the customer returned them or they’ve got a ding or dent.

I would trust a place like Harrisburg to deliver incremental growth and sustain it's value in the long run over some other "hotter" markets.  

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 OOS property Class rankings are usually vastly different than the local market they live in.7) 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.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.9) Class B usually also okay, but needs more attention from owner and/or PMC10) Class C can be relatively successful with a great PMC (do NOT hire the cheapest!)

We did plenty of due diligence and landed on Exeter and they delivered!

The reality is you CANNOT deliver those kind of deals. 

One day I will be able to deliver a high-quality product like this to my investors.thanks for sharing !!!

Cheers,Eric  Yes...you've put it into the universe now you are obligated to deliver.

There are usually only 2 or 3 oil providers in one area, so give them a call and ask if they deliver to that address.

This is the largest house I have renovated and the biggest renovation.Construction went well, but we got hit with a huge surprise the asphalt shingles were laid on top of the original wood shingles, not only more labor to tear it off, but more labor and material cost for the decking.But, by the time it was over I had delivered an AMAZING house.

I pay the cost of the permits.To demo the whole house - $3,000 plus I pay for the dumpsters.New Roof - $3,000 Waterproof basement - busted up concrete and installed french drain system  fed into sump pump (kept existing sump pump) and water seal paint the inside (no outside work) $5,000.Frame whole house - $3,000 (basically basement and main level.. upstairs didn't really change)Drywall - delivered, hung, and finished - $32 per sheet he estimates 120 sheets needed ($3,840 total)Insulate all walls and attic - $1500(*) Rough electrical including permits,new panel & wire - $4000  (outlets, switches, cans, fixtures, etc. additional)(*) New duct work - $4,000 ... seems fairly simple with the house demo'd and being such a small house.
