Sorry, maybe I should have been more precise. I don't even know Douglas. I was refereeing to the comment regarding a newbie investing out of State.
Rob made me nervous when he asked what a title policy is. Then after I posted, he said he had other out of state properties. He's not as green as his first couple posts led me to think.
i am green first property i bought i lived in and when i moved my wife and i kept it second house was bought with an investor group out of TX and i just remember signing papers and then the deal was done third property was also bought with and investment company in Tennessee and i just finished that one about a wk ago they did all the work and title junk i don't even know what they did this is my fourth one and it is my responsibility to do all the checking and i don't know what to check so you guys are really helping thank you so i am pretty GREEN i have lots to learn

My advice is to just make sure you do thorough due diligence on the condition of the property, due diligence on the management company and vacancy rates in the area and with similar properties. Make sure you are prepared for all worst case scenarios.
this is were i need help Property condition,check PM, Vacancy rates in the area how do you do this research
How is the LTV? I recommend to stick around 50% LTV and never go over 70%. That way you can unload it quick if you have to or hold, basically you have many exits. Rents I like when they are 2-3% of purchase and yours is 2.67%. Could be a fantastic deal.
i need to find out my value to know my LTV what is the best way to do this
No pre-payment penalty on the loan I assume? Any chance you can up the rents?
there are no pre pay penalty and the one that is rented for 300 Duge thinks we can get 400 to 450
