Visit either state to see family?

I want to take benefit of low interest rate but the 8-9K increase in loan amount plus additional charges about appraisals, etc is making me worry if I should go ahead or not.Thoughts and comments are welcomed.

I live about 3 1/2 hours away from where I plan to buy (Plan to buy in VA Beach, live in Alexandria, VA), so I won't be able to visit all the houses in person.

So looking ahead, I think it would be ideal to have separate utilities.

Maintaining the portfolio you inherited (visiting these properties and learning why they've lost value and how you can improve them will teach you so much more than just reading a book.

My company fought my workers comp claim and I wasn't getting paid at all, so I went full steam ahead into real estate full time in January of 2019.

By way of background I am currently in the NYC area but have family out in Orange County that I visit frequently so thought it was worth a deeper dive into the market.

I'd lean more towards random bonuses throughout the year rather than having them come to expect it every quarter.My handyman charges a visit fee of $40.

Thank you for your service and great job thinking ahead. 

These are important questions to ask on a visit.
