Visit some properties, eat at some resturants, make some connections(realtors, insurance agents, etc).Once you visit the area, you can make a better informed decision if thats an area that you want to buy in.Once you did this, and you are new to buying properties, I would maybe visit the property when it is being inspected.Once you have a couple of properties under your belt, you can rely on the home inspection report.Best of luck

Been researching, reading, listening, but the big and rough thing for me is to make the right decision/s, since my option are a lot, or maybe they do not exist?

Obviously with this summer’s market it wasn’t the best decision for making a lot of money but I’ll still make some, learn a ton, help out a neighbor, and got my feet wet!

I always think it's important to look at and understand both ends of the spectrum, so you can make an informed decision that makes the most sense for you. 

As a first-time investor, I'm nervous about making the buying decision.

Ultimately, the decision depends on your tolerance for waiting.Good luck!

I'm excited about making this investment work but want to explore all options to make the best decision.

Deciding when to sell a rental property can be one of your most challenging decisions.

Respond fast, act decisively, and always keep in mind that another investor might be right behind you, ready to take the deal if you don’t.

The biggest thing I have found is that they are very task oriented and will follow instructions well but you have to coach them up to be able to make their own decisions.
