This makes a lot of sense, set your benchmarks, and sell/replace once that property falls below your benchmarks. 

Now I know this varies from investor to investor, but how do you set what your tolerance levels are? 

How do you come to the number of 'if it falls below this I sell'?

@Joshua Janus

I just read that blog post, a great source of information. 

David Greene's book has been on my To-Read list for a while now. 

Thank you for putting me onto this!

Hey! 

For those investors that have successfully, or unsuccessfully, invested OOS, I want to hear your stories. 

What were the main benefits that attracted you to OOS investing? 

What did you find were the largest challenges to OOS investing? 

I imagine it's hard to do fix and flips OOS, which would limit you to only buy & hold properties, but I don't know! Let me know! 

Do you still invest or look for properties OOS? 

If so, why? 

If not, why?

Cheers! Excited to read your responses! 

Hey! 

Is there an ideal corporate structure for investing in any state in the USA? 

Or does the ideal corporate structure differ drastically from state to state?

If you have anything to add to this question, I'd love to hear it, I've been searching for an answer for a while now! 

Cheers!

Hey! 

I'm curious about something...

When do you sell a buy & hold? 

Now I know this depends on a lot such as the investor's goals and the property itself, but is there a general rule of thumb you as an investor follow?

Do you sell a buy & hold if it's still cashflowing but has appreciated a massive amount? 

Do you invest in a buy & hold knowing you're going to sell it after X years? If so, how do you come to that number in the first place? 

Cheers! 

Hey! 

Are there any good websites/services/softwares out there that provide a year-over-year report on the appreciation of a property? 

Does this even exist or is the closest thing to look at just the appreciation of the overall county/city as a whole? 

Cheers!

Hey! 

What metrics do you personally use to decide whether a property would make a good buy & hold investment or not? 

Cash on Cash?

Discounted Cash Flow?

Internal Rate Of Return?

Net Present Value? 

Cap Rate?

A combination of these and others? 

Let me know! I'm curious to see how different investors analyze their potential investments. 

Hey! 

What additional costs are there to consider when investing OOS? 

Of course, you're going to be using a Property Management Company, but are there additional taxes or fees when investing OOS? 

And if so, do these costs vary state to state? 

Thanks!

@Jason Wray

Thanks for your response man! 

This gives me lots to research and learn about. 

I appreciate it

@Nathan Gesner

Thanks for putting me onto the Estoppel Agreement, I've never heard of that before, that sounds like a great solution to this scenario. 

I appreciate it!
