I am on this site to network a bit.  

You'll want to be familiar with the lease agreements so you can call the manager on any term they are failing to enforce.If you are local, you may choose to manage the property yourself and save the fee.Good luck and congrats on your purchase!

I'm a newbie too, so I can't answer them ... but, I will say also check out "Meet Ups" through this site and through the "MeetUp" app. 

There is great information on this site and others, but nothing replaces experience IMO.My question to the BP community is this: what opportunities are there for someone like me to learn and gain experience despite my time constraint?  

Then I would go on site and count every lot and note which lots appear vacant and which appear occupied.

I just recently found this site a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed the great info BP provides.  

Who has a favorite auction site for buying investment properties?

I'm excited to dive more into this site as a resource & attend a Bigger Pockets meet up on Saturday to learn more.

I have an entrepreneurial mind and am not afraid to fail.

I would really like to get a jump-start on my portfolio in Phoenix before I move there, and the timing seems right in both markets; however, my biggest concern is getting into a property that eventually needs my personal attention on-site, for whatever reason, and ends up being a bad deal.
