I have a townhome in Shakopee (south west suburb) that I am looking for a property manager for. 

If it's written in metes and bounds, you may be able to get a fairly good idea where the property lines are from reading and measuring yourself as it will reference landmarks (such as distances from street corners, alleys, etc.) and angles.If you decide to put up the fence the vendor will need a boundary survey.I have a hard time understanding it...i posted it below:ND REFERRED TO HEREIN BELOW IS SITUATED IN THE COUNTY OF PIERCE, STATE OF WA, ANAS FOLLOWS:PARCEL A:COMMENCING AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE EAST HALF OF THE NORTHWEST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHWESTQUARTER OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 31, TOWNSHIP 20 NORTH, RANGE 3 EAST, W.M IN PIERCECOUNTY, WASHINGTON;THENCE SOUTH ON THE EAST LINE OF SAID SUBDIVISION 140 FEET;THENCE WEST PARALLEL WITH THE NORTH LINE OF SAID SUBDIVISION 110 FEET TO THE TRUE POINT OFBEGINNING;THENCE SOUTH PARALLEL WITH THE EAST LINE OF SAID SUBDIVISION 115 FEET;THENCE WEST PARALLEL WITH THE NORTH LINE OF SAID SUBDIVISION 110 FEET;THENCE NORTH PARALLEL WITH THE EAST LINE OF SAID SUBDIVISION 115 FEET;THENCE EAST 110 FEET TO THE TRUE POINT OF BEGINNINGPARCEL B:-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT FOR INGRESS AND EGRESS OVER A STRIP OF LAND DESCRIBED AGON THE SOUTH LINE OF 92ND STREET SOUTH AT A POINT 30 FEET SOUTH AND 100 FEST CORNER O THE EAST HALF O THE NORTHWEST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHWEST QSOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 31, TOWNSHIP 20 NORTH, RANGE 3 EAST, W M., IN PIERCE COUNTY,WASHINGTON;THENCE SOUTH PARALLEL WITH THE WEST LINE OF SAID SUBDIVISION 110 FEET;THENCE WEST PARALLEL WITH THE NORTH LINE OF SAID SUBDIVISION 110 FEET;THENCE SOUTH PARALLEL WITH SAID WEST SUBDIVISION LINE 25 FEET;THENCE NORTH PARALLEL WITH SAID WEST SUBDIVISION LINE 115 FEET;THENCE EAST 5 FEET;THENCE NORTH 25 FEET;THENCE EAST PARALLEL WITH SAID NORTH SUBDIVISION LINE 105 FEET;THENCE NORTH PARALLEL WITH SAID WEST SUBDIVISION LINE 85 FEET TO SAID SOUTH LINE OF 92ND STREETSOUTH;THENCE EAST 25 FEET TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING OF THIS EASEMENT;EXCEPT ANY PORTION LYING WITHIN THE ABOVE DESCRIBED PARCEL;SITUATE IN THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD, COUNTY OF PIERCE, STATE OF WASHINGTON.Hope this helps! 

In the southwest, you also have to consider access to water, as some cities are running critically low and these water expenses are only going to get higher.

I’d look to the west and southwest of campus.

Should I look for someone in my area (Southwest PA)?

If so does anyone recommend a good facilitator in South West Michigan? 

Does anyone from the Southwest Iowa area know or any meetups other than those in Omaha?

Good morning Houston,I'm a newbie investor with a single family home rented it the Westbury area of Southwest Houston. 

Are there any wholesalers in the south west Florida area that would like to network contact me anytime

So too much to answer in a post.Things unique about Illinois homes- We've invested in the Midwest, Southeast & Southwest- I"m not sure there's anything unique about Illinois except we've purchased or facilitated purchasing many properties over 100 years old.
