With respect to your airport project, I would not want a sfd within a 5 mile radius, that is the airport control zone where large aircraft will be ascending or descending at lower altitudes, I'd want to be about 8 to 10 miles out from approach and departure bearings of the major or prominent runways.

I own a 95' BMW M3 that was slavaged in the first 5k miles of ownership.

My opinion is your miles ahead of the game if you find someone to invest with that has a track record and will work with you and train you hands on.

One is an REO less than a half mile at pretty much the same size (it needs some work according to the listing agent, but I don't know how much)- it went pending at about $60k within a day of being listed.

But I have good tenants so on the one hand when they fix something minor without charging me or screwing it up I figure; alright that's one less hassle/trip I had to do so maybe it's OK to let it slide.I agree that if you give a tenant an inch they will take a mile and them getting it in their head that they can do "repairs" to lower the rent is a very bad idea.

Yes, I understand wanting minimal maintenance issues, but close to a quarter million is probably too much to pay to avoid them.I did a realtor.com search of homes for sale within 10 miles of Hendersonville.

I'm from Yuba City, California (about 40 miles north of Sacramento).

Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

I work in a market 250 miles away that is extremely competitive.

Not a professional and this is just the 1000 mile view.
