Quote from @Jayme Currie: Hi Matt,Would definitely be interested in checking out the property!

A good PM can refer you to top sales agents in the market, they can tell you what type of rentals are in demand, they can tell you which areas are best for investments, and they can cross-check what the sales agent tells you about specific properties.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

They fly you to Idaho and give you a check.

Second, Don't spend it until the check clears.

But need to check legality of that.

Check with an SEC attorney to learn where this line is drawn.

Especially for things like population growth/decline, economic trends etc.And what things do you recommend checking when trying to decide whether a location is a good place to invest.

Check your local credit union.

@Philip Anderson I'd recommend checking out @Baird King's meetup in Santa Barbara and @Kevin Aranha's in Ventura.
