Just hoping for some tips in dealing with out of state property?

Because the wiring is pretty old, an electrician told me that I could open a can of worms for extending that line which might create the need for lots more than just a j box and more cable.

Thanks guys for the responses and the great tips, I appreciate it. 

I was wondering if you guys had any tips or strategies on finding more information about sellers/properties.

Any tips for hunting these guys down and getting to the point where I can either buy them a beer or have dinner with them?

I look forward to reading the blogs and tips from everyone.  

Any recommendations or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Robert Allen's "Creating Wealth", Robert Irwin's "Tips and Traps When Negotiating Real Estate",  and "Maverick Real Estate Investing" by Steve Bergsman are among my favorites.

They are both great at learning the fundamentals.Also - here's a couple articles you might enjoy:The 21 Best Real Estate Investing Books Ever How to Rent Your House: The Definitive Step by Step GuideHow to Be a Landlord: Ten Tips for SuccessOh - and don't forget to set up your Keyword Alerts!
