I recently moved from Miami to Orlando to work as a Business Development Manager for Innovative Realty and I quickly discovered the Orlando market is completely different from what I'm used to in Miami.

Also, Rich Dad Poor Dad is a classic and was beneficial to me in developing the right mindset to start investing.

I also heard the property managers in that area aren't too great, so I'm managing it myself for now, until i develop relationships with good property managers. 

For me, it was capitalizing on what I'm good at and I've found my niche in development/land investing which go hand-in-hand. 

The issue is, I believe in Tullahoma, the cost to develop land (road, electrical, plumping, etc) will be more expensive than the total revenue from the lots.

We knew we wanted to investment in Puget Sound waterfront and my wife spent hours on Google Maps and driving around to develop a list of cold call applicants.

When I was breaking into the web developer industry, there was plenty of free meetups that I could attend to network with other like minded individuals.

So, my suggestion is to develop a relationship with an insurance broker who is not a computer bot and ask them for some indications. 

Prop. 15 though seems quite necessary to me although maybe also not the best solution.The state has two related problems that need to be solved:1) California has developed unsustainably for decades (often through federal government largesse), overbuilding public infrastructure such as highways and sewer/water lines.

Also, what techniques would you use to see if the flip was actually done properly and professionally and that corners were not cut that can be costly in the future?
