We don't pay much store to cosigners but when we do get them, we run them through the full application process.

There was a recent webinar, bottom line, it looks like Darryl Heller sold off many of the ATMs, didn't pay the people who put the cash in them, didn't pay the stores that have them on site, isn't providing information to David Zook's team that the court has ordered and is racking up something like $50k+ a day for not doing so...it is a complete mess and seems like there are only a fraction of the ATMs that might still be producing money but the company hired by Zook to get their hands around all of this is running into many roadblocks because Heller's team isn't providing info. 

The BiggerPockets store has books that will teach you how to analyze properties.

If im out of state, does it make sense to join social media groups, etc. to accomplish the same thing without being physically there? 

And now with rates being high, plus many areas overbuilt with new apartment buildings, I’d be careful with unknown areas, and also what you read in the media about “hot” areas, up and comers, etc.I was in a similar situation to yours a couple years ago.

I'm hoping to start some social media campaigns which are completely unrelated to real estate, but if I build up a sizeable audience over the years, then maybe I can get others to invest with me.

If you put any information on social media you are practicing real estate without a license.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books on this topic, or you can learn about it by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

When you get to rural areas, even in Tuscany, you need to more risk-adverse as the property value might not increase, unless you have another operating business on it like a boutique hotel or vineyard, that you can blast social media influencers to get more people to come.
