In my 1st post I would like to share the apps I use and find out what apps BP members are using.1) sign my pad- sign docs from your tablet or phone.2) foxfi- free internet hotspot.3) cam scanner- takes pic of doc and saves it as a PDF to your computer.4) dropbox- gives you access to your docs anywhere via the cloud first 2gb are free.I need a good office suite to read and make exel docs if anyone knows one.Also I need an app that edits PDF files.

Scouts are doing their scouting in various scoutable hotspots, so it hasn't been decided yet.

Personally I think Indianapolis and Kansas City are flying under the radar and probably the insider hotspots for rental properties.Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want a second (third, fourth...) opinion.

My properties are in Atlanta as well, I live in LA, but grew up in Atlanta so it being an investor hotspot was quite convenient.Sounds like you have a good plan!

Ask what the hot spots are, what people are buying and how much they're spending.

Atlanta was a huge hotspot over the last few years but it has petered down quite a bit.

If anyone knows of some hot spots outside of the DC metro area - let me know!
