One pearl that I have learn since doing this is to wait for the deal, don't first pitch swing.

I moved up here during the 2008 crash of Continental Ranch (lost 2 of my homes in that because AOL shut down). 1. $300 for what you're thinking is a duplex is most likely a house with a casita.

@J Scott  well shoot  I was waiting for another pearl.. right when I think we have this licked.. we get our butt kicked.

Would you mind sharing some pearls of wisdom with the rest of the members here?

Evan,You are right to use some caution on your first out of state rental especially out of the continental United States.

I appreciate any clinical pearls I can glean from more experienced investors.  

I've heard Alpha Title is investor-friendly and I know some folks over at Continental Title from my title insurance days. 

Occasionally whole groups go topless on Pearl Street to demonstrate for women’s rights. 

I like @Bill F. comments  punctuality is really important in the real estate game.. and great communication skills.no one likes dealing with someone that takes 3 days to get back to them or wont answer their phone and hides behind text messaging.. we are in the communication age ( instant) learn that.One last pearl one of my business partners was quite accomplished ( president of Stauffer foods) president of Beringer wines in Napa.. ( that's were we met member of the same country club.. )But as we did business together over the years..
