Well usually pre-screening application help weed out the limited interest prospects or you can have a set of questionnaires before you setup a tour with them.

After researching properties on MLS there are few multi’s that cash flow at the 1% rule or greater in these markets and the several that do which I have toured I have not been impressed with.

I have pretty much learned a little bit about every neighborhood in Sacramento by driving/riding my bicycle by during different times of the day/night, touring homes. and talking to neighbors and other home owners. 

By the way, I can totally understand the realtors perspective of not wanting to trawl 40 insulting offers on behalf of a hopeful low-baller or to tour around "aspiring" investors that live in fantasy land and basically just need someone to validate them for a weekend here or there:). 

You can tell a lot about a company just by being an active researcher - if they don't have time, get annoyed, can't schedule a tour, or just stop responding, those are big red flags that can be sussed out with just a few emails. 

I actually do attend some of the property tours and the other meetings.  

Never lose tour tenacity.

I will start using 3D tours this summer6.

I'm sorry, but this is entirely tour fault. 

I saw vents when I toured but onsite maager doesnt know of any HVAC system.
