Here in WA I bought basically the cheapest 3/2 there was, I’m beginning to wonder if the price of houses here makes it that much more difficult to get into another one.

My out-of-state clients (many of them from California!)

The customer service informed me they didn't offer this service at the time and they were now informing clients they offer this service.

I run a group of landlords in Philly and notice many new investors getting themselves into unforeseen difficult situations.

As a landlord, it may be difficult to make decisions like this especially when a family is involved. 

I think this way of thinking is a bit foolish and can leave thousands on the table.When I'm looking to process a renewal, whether for my own investments or for my clients, I start by completing an analysis on the tenant.

Otherwise you could be wasting your time.I have clients from CA and NY do exchanges in GA and other states.

I was told it's more difficult to find tenants for smaller multi-units(duplex, triplex, etc.) due to compatibility, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

The difference in locations between one mile and five miles could be highly subjective and difficult to nail down.

Some potential clients like to have a clearer picture of the property before booking a visit.
