If investors have to get on a plane, it's going to be harder to raise money.Everyone is trying to find the next best market.

@Alex Craig  I would pay a premium if I could live next t the airport were my plane was based :)

If you are looking for money stick with real estate, but if you like planes and already have money, it is pretty fun.Hi also to Jim, welcome.

So if you have the opportunity, go ahead and spend a few hundred bucks on a plane ticket (if out of state)  and set up an in person meeting with them.Hope it helps. 

This gives them some diversification, but also allows others to participate in some of the most attractive deals.As a sponsor, all of the upfront costs including Earnest Money, inspections, plane tickets, etc are paid by us upfront. 

Whenever you invest in an area away from yours, you MUST, MUST, MUST hop on a plane or jump in the car and go have a look and meet people.

The rental market was still promising this time of last year; I got good responds from just Craigslist along for this same house.As for your other creative option, I have the same concert for its negative effect, so I’d just passed the words to my immediate neighbors for someone they might know.Since it’s tougher to rent the whole house out I thought, I’d also just done tried rented half of the house out and planed to then rent rest of them rooms out individually but ended up with a nightmare; almost needed an eviction for that guy who rented half of it; no rent paid the very first month came (his car got broken into with his ID gone; bank account froze up; it has to be the day right after he wrote me the rent check; after he wrote another check that was postdated 10 days later then the due day prior along with other cover ups), to top off his horrible living condition with my house.

If you've planed for this, you'll handle it with ease.

Even if you have to go an hour's drive away, its better than hopping on a plane.

Glad that you close escrow and everything go as planed.
