The local press has been all over it to the extent that the opposition tried to oust the mayor capitalizing on crime at the occasion of our municipal election, which took place last year.

Sure we have done that on occasion, once or twice.

Im relatively new in Sarasota, FL and hoping there's a real estate group here that meets on occasion (or would like to) to explore RE related investment prospects, etc.  ...coffee, wine, cigars, etc.?   

Will you want to visit and hang out on occasion?

We complement each other to be sure we get a quality product for the owner.The parallel is that you could find a business partner that is the store front and does the people interactions while you quietly attend the meetings commenting on occasion, but are the brains behind the details and the analysis.Just food for thought.Sincerely,Joe

Even in lower-end rentals, this strategy has worked well and even the middle-of-the night calls have only happened on rare occasion.

If they have no reviews and just joined, I do ask a few other questions.Like, are you celebrating any special occasions?

I personally don't know the investor very well, but I have a close friend that has lent money to him on multiple occasions within the past six months, which gives me a little bit more confidence. 

renters at least in my areas won't want to pay decent rents if the internet is just not good.Trash service becomes a thing you need to figure out on occasion.

D usually, E on occasion but some homes there are still in the $10K price range.
