In this area MTR works well, also signing slightly longer term rentals for the school year and then doing a couple month long MTR for the summer has worked for me in the past.

The tenants in back apartment were married, was informed by the female that they were getting a divorce but she would be fine paying rent alone.

Hey everybody, I've been listening to BP podcasts for a couple years now, and I'm excited to finally get in here and start accelerating my learning and meet some like-minded people. 

I also hold a couple of real estate forums in the area for people like yourselves to connect with service providers, GC's, etc. 

But if you do want to invest out of state where cash flow is higher, I think it's worth narrowing down where you think the best markets are and then find a way to take a trip for a couple days or so. 

I have sat through a couple of calls with these guys and have done some DD.

@Joseph Beilke we are getting married in Jaco, Costa Rica in a month and thought the same.
