- If you personally visit a new market, what exactly are you looking for during that visit other than touring some properties?

Kind of like a cash for keyshttps://martinezlawcenter.com/new-rental-laws-in-california-...Most of the long time investors I know haven't had problems but if you get a "professional tenant" in look out and call your RE attorney.  

Shoot me a DM - I'm happy to chat, although BP is kind of wonky for me, especially on mobile. 

Maybe you can expand on what kind of properties and price points you're targeting, buy & hold vs Flip vs MTR etc?

What kind of properties interest you the most?

It seemed that just having some kind of communication back to the resident right away was better than them leaving a voicemail.

Btw, this kind of note-taking has been extremely helpful in other aspects of my life, and I imagine it will work quite well for real estate as well. 

I'm more concerned about appreciation and equity so I'm willing to trade the cash flow for it, but I don't want to be in a situation where I'm barely breaking even and the stress that comes with it.Looking for ideas how I can tap into that equity to grow my portfolio but still getting some kind of cash flow to be able to make the monthly payments1.

the only way i'd encourage you to invest in one of them though is if you're actually going to put time and effort into visiting and building a team and employing some kind of strategy. 

It could also be worth it to test the market and see what kind of offers you receive.
