@Martin Carstens I like this. Definitely a good way to slowly build information over time. Who says people don’t read the newspaper anymore? I’ll block some time out for this as well each day. Have a goal for my first property early 2021 so I have some reading to do!

@Taylor L. Sounds great. I appreciate the insight and would never have thought of reddit. Going to be blocking out some time every night to do this. I'm actually planning on investing in the Norfolk, VA area. So you may be familiar with the area. If I'm not liking what I see with Norfolk, Richmond was another place I thought might be good.

I’m planning on investing long distance (~3 hours away). When I visit the market for a long weekend what’s the best way to go about discovering the market? Any suggestions on a strategy/plan besides just driving around, talking to an agent and asking property managers where they wouldn’t manage properties? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
