Dear BP family, Often times there's a discrepancy between a recorded sales price on a county's website and zillow.

I just checked the Thurston County Recorder website and there were only 2 Lis Pendens (start of judicial foreclosure process) filed in the entire month of December.

I got his number from a inspection report that was filed online and is public record.

Some cameras record 24/7, while others are turned on when a door is opened. 

Screen screen your tenants !!!!!

Even the best tenant screening can’t guarantee a cooperative tenant Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

In these types of situations, I find it far safer for me as the buyer to take control of the property by doing this a subject-to type of transaction (we get title and record with a title company). 

Doing something is what built the track record and experience to get me to where I am today.

Evolve handles all pre-stay communication, guest questions and any pre-screening I want done as needed.  

There's also an extraordinary tendency among these newbies only to listen to the opinions that they want to listen to, no matter whom the opinions are coming from, discounting any voices of sanity that tell them to avoid long-distance deals that no one but a local specialist could possibly make money from.If you're going to go long distance, buy renovated turnkey from people with a long-term record in the business.
