I travel for a living so I can hop on a plane if need be *hint hint*Should I join REIA?  

Read a book or listen to a podcast about how to fly a plane, and then jump in the cockpit, taxi down the runway, throttle up, and "try" a takeoff.

You will also need to determine if your lender or insurance provider requires a Phase I EA.In the end, be prepared to spend  $50 - $125/unit for a baseline inspection (the more units the lower the per-unit amount).If you are just looking for someone to be "boots-on-the-ground", find an experience multifamily investor or property manager (on BP) to be your eyes, or alternatively, jump on a plane.

If the right networking opportunity arises, I'm willing to jump on plane to take advantage of it (I haven't had to yet though ^^).

Im priced out of any long term recreational development opportunity here in LA and would be very interested in learning more about what you have planed!

Oh, and say a little extra cash thrown in for a plane ticket to any place in the USA.I would like to know what the aggressive investor might do as well as the passive.  

Their debt gets erased as soon as you're put on a plane back home.  

I like to fly my plane into Kamloops then spend 10 days exploring the lakes in the area...

You can send them a pdf of the lease agreement by email and they can mail it or Fed Ex it back to you on their dime.  

But as for my $450 home inspection, and 2-$200 plane tickets along with all the other travel expenses and days taken off work, am I just screwed??
