Hey @Laretta YoungBP boogs are great, ive bought like....5 of them , including long distance....Im also from out of state and I was looking for a place to invest, I did my reaseraches, found few great markets, but the problem is that everyone else invest in those markets....so I was looking for under-the-radar markets, markets that regarding raw data (unemployments, job growth, population growth....) are not right at the top.so I found Des Moines , Iowa, right now im in a middle of a flip there, but I have no reason to leave this area after that.I think that even though other places perform better, for an out of state investor, its more important to have a system, and people he can trust in that market (if you bought David Greene's long distance... through BP store, they also gave you an access to a pdf file he wrote called "the core 4")@Darson Grantham you forgot to put other important links :)this one,  hopefully it will be right again this time:https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/01/these-7-recession-proof-cities-can-offer-security-in-an-economic-slump.html and this onehttps://realestate.usnews.com/real-estate/slideshows/best-places-to-live-in-the-us-for-families?

I basically look at the competitors that are performing well to see what they’re doing right, find the average word count, recommend some keywords and phrases to incorporate, and then structure an outline for the writer to go off of.

Appraisals were done and underwriting performed via ShareStates two weeks ago. 

In terms of condition of units, damage, etc, you still get access to ALL units during Due diligence, and of course beyond the units, look at copies of leases, rent rolls, late payment history, you can even ask for copies of applications and background checks performed by seller. 

In a wholesale purchase agreement, I have two important clauses, "Assignability" and "Specific Performance" so no need for me to upload full contract, just keep those two terms in mind.

I also perform virtual tours via Facebook messenger, its a good way to do live video tour and have questions answered on the spot for perspective tenants without having to have their contact info, not to mention doing a bit of peeing as to how they live on their FB feed. 

Any improvements in performance on top of that will be gravy.My 8 to 12 objective will be met once Phase 2 is completed, versus the 14.0 years shown above.Phase 2 is where you make your real money.

The nice thing about using the loggers, you have a nice graph that will show exactly what happens over time so you can accurately assess the performance, proving to the tenant that you are (hopefully) meeting the minimum temperature requirements for housing in your locale.

You want to ask yourself, how would this property perform as an investment the day I move out?
