I am just coming back from a trip in the Allentown aera and I have visited a property with one unit being a section 8.

@Shafi NossI totally agree with @Paul ChoiI would meet with two or three different real estate agents during your trip. 

I compared the lists and talked to people and simply took the dive and invested in Boise- I had neighbors from CA move there, had some friends who invested there in the past and took a trip and liked the area. 

We went on a trip a few weeks ago and I had her listen to episode 276 with Bryce Stewart and when it was over she looked at me and said You have got to do this!!!  

I like this method because it limits my trips back and forth to the property, and - as John pointed out - it creates a sense of urgency in the applicants because they see everyone else interested in the property.If, on the other hand, I need to show the property to just one applicant for some reason, I will still set an appointment. 

But for random trips to HomeDepot, I just enter the info into QuickBooks and toss the receipt.

What a trip.

.- Harder to do remotely- but take a trip and do drive by's to find properties you may want to pursue.Hope these options help.

I'm on Edisto now for a family trip, but will be back to town next weekend. 

With borrowed funds there are a lot of rules to follow here is how they can trip you up.
