I invest out of state which is something you could consider if your local market doesn’t match your investing criteria .

I just meant to say that your screening process and standards won't change based on where the applicant is coming from.A good screening will verify identity that can be matched to a government issued picture ID.

Insurance agent is having issues finding a policy that will inflate build cost to match my commercial income based appraisal.

Having a foot in the door with a low payment from 2013 rates has been a nice fallback -- military housing allowance has gone up dramatically to match market housing costs, so if we moved back into that house we would pocket about $1,000 monthly of extra tax-free housing allowance, give or take.Unfortunately, after taking vacancy, capex, maintenance, etc. into account, the house is not currently cash flowing. 

The house is smaller and on piers but as far as curb appeal it matches the neighborhood well.To your questions:1.

Yes all the time I always check the tax records to see if the landlord name matches.

The cost of replacing the 4 tiles is $150 but it will be a missed match floor.

Agents typically pressure their clients for price reductions every 2 weeks, so if you can time your contacts to match that you'll improve your response rate.Your Offer: Sell to me and I'll pay your agent for you.2.

BP members, from your experience what would be the best way to find someone out-of-state and how do you vet your potential partners to finding the best match?

@Dave Peirce had some great questions.I understand some of the seasoned investors are struggling to find deals at a pace that matches 2010-2015 years, but deals are still out there today especially over the winter months.Regarding financing, in addition to Dave's question, how many banks have told you no?
