They'll trip over dimes to pick up pennies lol

Hey @Nicholas Hausmann - I can't provide much feedback on Springfield Illinois it self since I am up in Chicago, but it seems like from what everyone is saying it's a solid cash flow market.In general, it sounds like you have a solid plan...I recommend making some trips there to meet some of the local investors.  

He turned around and used the interest I paid him back to go on a golf trip with me later that year. 

Once you've figured that out, take a trip and explore the area a bit and make sure it's an area you're comfortable investing in. 

But also remember to take reports by tenants of snow not getting shoveled with a huge deer lick of salt—the crew may have just finished and snow can and does accumulate rapidly in between trips. 

Last year we began testing different places by staying in Carrillo and Junquillal with day trips to a lot of other nearby beaches. 

If I'm staying one night somewhere, a quick business trip or something into Denver to show clients homes, a hotel is my choice.

This includes trips to properties for evaluations, trips to Home Depot, etc. 

Richmond certainly would have some potential in pulling trades from, but coming from Lexington, you might face an added trip charge on top of the service provided.Over the past few years, rents have increased nationwide.

Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.
