It's a tiny town, but, I was lucky enough to get noticed by a scout and play college football for four years.

I have already begun to scout for local REIA clubs and l Have been listening to Bigger Pockets, Best Real Estate Advice Ever and Mike Gazzola's Real Estate Investing that Works podcasts.Definitely will be looking into both your book suggestions also!

I'm also scouting deals in Allentown specifically.

We have  scouts in different states that we pay sometimes to help us with  research and verification of a property that is out of our state.  

They are the primary selling features and should really pop.4) Do scout the competition before you choose the finishes for your house.

I visit periodically to visit my parents and scout properties.

I googled Vernal because I had never heard of it and I found this funny quote from a scout who Brigham Young sent to explore the area, "in 1861 and received word back the area was good for nothing but nomad purposes, hunting grounds for Indians and "to hold the world together."

Neighborhood Scout says the area I'm looking at, 5th St/Mifflin, has a high childhood poverty rate and a vacancy rate of over 11%.

What are some tips and tricks for scouting out areas that I am a complete stranger to?

My partner (@James Sheppard) and I will be in the Baltimore (city), Maryland this coming Friday for a rental property inspection and hope to make the best use of our time scouting key areas, meeting with an investor-friendly real estate agent, or even connecting with a good wholesaler.Please reach out with an recommendations.
