Reminds me of when I went to visit a property of my Fathers that he got back.  

Had a similar property visit a month or so ago.

There was grease the size of a grapefruit he removed from the kitchen.Still, I doubt she would've used the range hood regardless.this is why I make it a requirement to visit a person's place of residence before renting to them.

Buy them lunch when you visit. A

I'd say your best bet is to visit as many local REIA meetings as possible and talk to as many people you can.

I was recently in Dallas and was able to visit a few houses and sub-markets.

So went to visit a very wise man. ( my father ) Simple cup of coffee and good conversation.

@David MarinoGo to REIA meetings and networkGo to REIA meetings where you are now even if you may not stay thereGo visit a market you might end up in, and go to REIA meetings thereIn conclusion: go to REIA meetings

We were able to visit a few neighborhoods over the past year and will be making more trips up there in 2023 as well.

^ I think what's just as useful is going to visit as many houses as you can.
