Quote from @AJ Satcher: Hey BP Community!

If I have a specific area I'm looking in I would call multiple agents to ask about the area.I also reach out to communities like this and ask for others' input as well as recommendations for a good crew- handyman, plumbing, etc.Visiting in person sometime in the beginning would be ideal so the neighbors can know you and help give you info when you're gone.And it may just be me but I like to partner with locals

It's your property, as long as you give proper, written notice, which is 24 hours in every state that I'm aware of, you can enter.

Hey BiggerPockets Family,I’m thrilled to finally be joining this amazing community after spending some time exploring the forums and listening to the podcasts.

Welcome to the community.

Hopefully, you're aware of this.

Just hoping to get some opinions real quick......I live in a gated Lake community in California... 

Thank you BP community for your feedback - and these young men do as well.

This process is extensive, requiring community engagement and approval from the City Planning Commission and City Council.Given the predominance of multifamily residential properties in your area, there may be a precedent for such developments.
