Toured virtually every apartment for sale there in my price range  .you are correct in that a good property manager is very difficult to find in that area !

Toured several apartment buildings .

I virtually toured one side today and it is massive on the inside!

I'd spend your time touring around the city and seeing what areas you like. 

There is only one reason a person would attempt to silence truth...So, without even having to get into the value (or lack of) of his actual real estate investing "program" or bus tours, we can see that deception is something Armando Montelongo uses whenever it suits him.And deception is the hallmark of a scam.

I have yet take a tour of the house, I simply walked around the property

I toured and interviewed with another popular broker, even attended some of their training classes, but ultimately felt eXp was a much better fit for me.

(e.g. receipt capture apps)...... and you take note of things like 1) attendees at meals/meetings 2) purpose of meeting and topics discussed.. ... and you have documentation to corroborate your 4 hours-per-day of business-related activities (such as documented/scanned copies of collateral related to an investment property you're touring...Well, my friend... then it sounds like you may have a solid business expense write-off for that trip!

I toured one of their projects while it was in progress and can say they do true gut rehabs (unlike a lot of the turnkey rehabs which are just cosmetics).

I help out of state buyers get acquaintanted with Minneapolis and Saint Paul through video and live tours, and that has brought me many happy clients.
