Rumor is they are 47 controllers short (although I think ~29 new ones are about to come on or something) and we can't get our VFR mini-route back until they re-stock the tower :) I teach flying out of Santa Monica. 

WI also has a lot to love, and the people who live here are quite content that the rest of the world doesn't want to come and bring their mess with them - y'all just keep flying right on over, we'll wave to you as you go by.

This prevents us from working with fly by the night clients as well as wasting our time and preventing any miss communication.2.

I would suggest getting out there (flying to conferences) because the best networking with the best people is rarely in your local area.

Flying off the handle can get you in trouble.For example, not renting to those in the military is against federal fair housing laws.

The ones that are simply schemes for stuffing money into an IRA will not fly. 

Once you think the numbers work then start calling people that are running ads and one conversation Should lead to another and hopefully you'll find enough reasons to fly out and meet some new contacts.Account Closed is correct there's a broad spectrum of deals to buy from a total gut job to a full on turn key program.I'd definitely stay away from fix and flips in the beginning and look at light rental grade rehabbs to full on turn key.The most important aspect of out of state rentals is the property manager, for this reason I finally decided to partner with a management company in Michigan to help protect mine and my clients assets.Ohio, Michigan and Missouri are still under valued and offering good returns.The detailed kind of information you're after is more of a phone or sit down conversation.

It's tough waiting out the clock but with several active projects and a pretty good pipeline time flies by.

We were saving better than most people in the rat race but nothing special.Now I had to convince her of the benefits of RE investing and time flies. 

That may fly in other states but my triplex, assessed value 180k has to be insured for $350-425k depending upon insurer.
