Having lived in Denver for a while (and having family out there who I visit a few times per year), I'm leaning heavily towards the suburbs of Denver that I'm familiar with (Jefferson County mostly).

If make ready is substantial, I'll visit a couple times during make ready.

You might want to ask around and visit a large management firm that specializes in the product type you're interested in.

I didn't do a prequal yet since I want to visit a few more smaller local banks.

Can't wait to go South and visit a beach somewhere.I'm new and I have a duplex that I just completed renovating and have one tenant and another possible section 8 candidate that may occupy by 4/1.Boy did I learn a few things already about what NOT to do next time.

A buy and hold at a $450k range will not really cash flow to well in NJ unless you are talking about a multi unit building but again at that price it will most likely be in a neighborhood you don't want to visit. As

PhilPS: 95% of the time, I will not visit a property until I have it under contract, which I do over the phone based off of what the seller tells me (I work with a lot of out of state sellers).  

Living longer, warm weather preferred AND people visit a lot.

Go visit a few times until you hopefully make contact otherwise, you move on.This was successful for me and I know it can produce and pay dividends in the long run.

I agree people from out of the area should not try to visit a week and figure out where.4.
