I put in two layers of rockwool + 5/8" drywall between my basement and main level, and was so glad I did it.

Do you get nervous about the long-term commitment of a 14- to 16-month lease?

The property will be strictly for investment purposes, not a primary residence.I’ve been looking into two potential financing options:Hard Money Lenders (HML) – I’m drawn to this option for its speed in closing, but I know the rates can be higher.DSCR Loans – This seems like a great option for long-term rentals, but I’m unsure if it’s the right fit for my auction property since it might need some rehabbing.I’m also considering purchasing through a land trust or an LLC to add a layer of protection and privacy.So, my questions are:What’s the best way to approach financing for auction properties?

Are you looking to flip or for long term?

If you have an issue with that, or are long distance, hiring a property manager is a must.

Being out of state, I would suggest vetting your "team", meaning find an investor realtor, lender/s (hard $ / long term), property manager, contractors, etc.
