After that, there is a single annual inspection that is just in place to ensure the rental is still clean, safe and functional.

Okay, Sorry about the short post I posted, I was driving home from work last night listening to a BP podcasts, at some point Brandon Turner mentioned how important the interaction with other member is... so I figured I would at least start with my first post. 

In other words, you would not start out running equipment but you would be driving stakes and setting hubs.

If the PR is also an heir, preferably sole heir, and does not reside in the property, you have a decedent chance of acquiring prior to her listing w/agent in MLS.It may be an investor-type who acquired an heir's interest and is probating to clear title.Of course, there are a lot of 'what if's' that you could drive yourself crazy by dwelling on.

With it's proximity to the Parkway and a short bus ride or drive to Center City I believe it is an area to watch. 

They're not home runs for sure, but will hopefully be fairly safe investments over the long term.There have been some bumps and bruises along the way, being a newbie, and having the properties over two hours away from my house.

Otero County and specifically towns like Rocky Ford, La Junta, and Fowler (they are about 2 hours drive from the metro area).

Though the area I own in is safe it provides both the tenant and their property another level of security and peace of mind.I own a duplex and charge the tenant using the (1) car garage $100 more a month.

I called the manufacturer (GE) and was told that the glass in stoves is tested at extreme heat to ensure that it is safe from cracking.  

There would be an external management co, but I would like to be able to personally drive a nail.
