If you owned a property with a broken stairwell where someone trips and falls, got incapacitated for life, why would their damages be restricted to $170K.

But I still recommend taking regular trips to anywhere you invest in out-of-state and it would be a good idea to time the next trip with when the local REIA group is meeting.

I have seen on my last trip to New York City formerly bankrupt hotels recover and make a ton of revenue off illegal immigrants.

Here's some food for thought:- Many of my first time investors know from the jump that they aren't going to be driving 5 hours round trip for every little item, and also know that they arent prepared to handle things like disputes, evictions, lease violations, etc.

@Seth Baumgartnerare you able / planning on going out to Cincinnati to see properties, set things up, and then make periodic trips out to oversee everything?

@John Bertolon we’ve noticed over the years that any decent rent increase triggers “stupid-trip” repair requests, change of owners or not.

I also own another triple nearby to the neighborhood you're buying (im fairly certain I know the trip you're buying in the corner) and have done great with it. 

Crystal River is famed for swimming with Manatees but I do not think it attracts a lot of people from around the world, more or less of a day trip. 

Right now, I am reading everything I can and preparing for my next research trip to North Carolina.

Getting them to raise their credit card limits to attend their seminars, purchase their CD's, and go on their bus tours.
