I'm from Austin so just a short drive away!

These are not nationally known locations, but still pretty popular drive-to vacation spots for Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit metros. 

utm_source=...I think the nearest Hospital is 26-30 minutes away - maybe too far for a tired nurse to get off her shift and drive sleep.Does the salmon run go thru that river in the fall? 

As a newbie, I think it's a great idea to be a short distance/drive away from your 1st investments!

You also shouldn't drive over them with a vehicle.

This scarcity will drive both property prices and rents upward.Housing supply and demand dynamics are more determined by interest rates and state/local economics than by the president and Congress.SummaryWaiting for the election outcome won't give you an advantage.

Hi Elia,With your experience and drive, scaling your portfolio is within reach.

Premium increases are rippling through the market; the state is also always going to be financially strapped/high tax due to union pension commitments from past generations and the high tax, high services nature of Chicago.I'd highly recommend getting on a plane and driving around before you buy anything there. 

The interactions were mainly me sending places I wanted to go look at, and making offers with very little guidance from them, ultimately only to lose out on the bid.All in all, I've learned that being this early in my investing journey, I need an agent who is not only familiar with investing (or is an investor) but will reciprocate the same dedication and drive. 

A few tactics that come to mind are: - creating a single listing page (landing page) that captures contact info - paid social ads that drive to the single listing page What's the perfect use case for a single listing page?
