Hey All,After hours of research, reading and using BP Forums to ask and read questions and answers, I (think) I have decided where I would like to focus in regards to purchasing my first Rental property.Before I would submit any offers, I want to give myself the adequate time to go check out these neighborhoods, talk to residents and check out their local economies and shops In order to ensure I am happy with my choices before proceeding.As I prepare to go to these different communities (looking in the CT area), I was wondering if anybody who has done similar trips (I am assuming its pretty standard practice, unless the property is far away).

It doesn't mean you should avoid this strategy, it should just be considered a good supplement to SEO, cold calls, letters, or whatever - not a replacement. 

However, I think the best practice here is to contact an attorney.

Not only overriding owner's cancellation policies but practically encouraging guests to cancel.

Anderson to request his office, which has jurisdiction over evictions, stop the practice during the period when public schools are closed in Baltimore.

I use direct mail to absentee owners, website SEO, and telemarketing

This is easy to get around by ensuring things are win-win, and working with peers, and not subordinates (both good practices to begin with).

But if it is good practice to have inherited tenants sign a new lease regardless, then that is good to know.

We also have a large community of 100+ local investors who chat regularly to share ideas, best practices etc. via a GroupMe and Slack chat so if you’d like to get plugged in let me know!

Guess I can’t call my mom on the phone because I’m practicing social distancing.
