When we move around, we kick up dust, spread hair and skin cells around, and generally leave an almost invisible mess wherever we go.

We’re a Canadian couple ....Driving over on your days off might lower your anxiety.Maybe stay overnight in a motel, get your hair cut there, eat in the restaurants.Get to know a few cities well, and get to know the neighborhoods there.Talk to a few realtors and shop in the local grocery stores.After a few trips, you will know where is not safe, and where is more safe than the not safe.Also once you cross the border 911 is the call code for help if you need it, but don't expect the Red Coated Mounties in their shiny brown boots. 

I have a few off the top of my headNon-conforming zoned properties, way too hard to get around these (sometimes)High crime rates, D class neighborhoods - beware of bad neighbors tooLong list of building inspector code violations being transferred at closingToo many liens on the property (mechanics, tax, credit - you find these in the title search)Clouds on title (relatives in other states that have different plans for the property)Too much "spaghetti" on the table (hair on the deal, I am Italian and like food references)Happy to share my "Due Diligence Checklist" from our BiggerPockets Blog.

One stray hair in a bathroom and you can say goodbye to your 5-star rating. 

If the tenant is someone that they just want to get rid of, they'll likely tell you what you want to hear just to get them out of their hair.

If it's their fault, I do make them pay for it (hair in drains, etc.).

The reality is, for most people here on Bigger Pockets looking to buy a handful of rentals in all these low cost cash flow markets, it's like splitting hairs. 6 to one, half dozen to the other.
