Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

What are your tips on finding and evaluating areas to purchase?

But that is far from the point of this post.) first they’ll confirm your $1,000/mo “market rent” isn’t a) BS or b) still too low.

I think there is so much value in having a supportive network, so I'm looking to set up a monthly lunch for us to exchange ideas, tips, and encouragement.

Best way to detect this is to observe them during the home inspection.

Hi there MasonI am newer than new and would certainly appreciate any tips or advice you may have. 

Is there any way I could monetize this? 

I generally rule out most single family homes as viable rentals, as prices are pretty high relative to rents, so aside from some downtown neighborhoods, typically you do not find large areas of single family rental neighborhoods (a median sale price on a 3 bed, 2 bath home so far this year in Dane County on MLS sales data is at $430k).
