You'll want city/county searches for things Steve mentioned, which will require a little more time, and inquiries to all the actual dept.s.

I have received many inquiries from lenders looking to finance notes receivable for my company over recent months.

Matt,I don't know if you will see this since my response is several months after your inquiry, but I am an experienced investor who has recently moved to Lynchburg from South Jersey.  

That was the reason for the whole inquiry!

They started charging more and more AND, at the same time, providing my one bedroom urban apartment fewer and fewer inquiries as they focused their advertising dollars on large, extended family rentals in vacation destinations.

Until the new policies are laid out Im very concerned as an owner because again the inquiry traffic, control over bookings and collecting of payments is being further high jacked leaving the owner with less organic control over the business. 

I've had a couple strange inquiries come through AirBNB recently.One was from a woman who wanted to rent my place for 3+ months, only paying one month at a time, and requested that I block off future months so that no one else could book my rental.Another was from a gentleman who identified himself as a traveling medical professional and wanted to book my rental outside of AirBNB, then reveals how he's cash-strapped because of a family matter, yada yada...I declined both.

>I also wanted to know if there are any Meet-ups happening in the San Diego area.Recently responded to a similar inquiry.  

Welcome Brian, James is correct that deals are tough to find, but after a while you can just look at the numbers and know if it requires further inquiry.

I talked to and emailed a fair bit with Real Protect and all of the PM options and eventually decided on Brick Lane Property Management (Brick Lane was the most helpful and responsive of the bunch, and AMG, the previous PM totally dropped the ball and respond to any of my follow-up or inquiries until two week later after I have already decided on Brick Lane).
