Driving around Tacoma, I came across a small property with an excellent water view.

Good notes, I would also add that state regs should be a factor wherever you end up soliciting investors from i.e. avoid NY

In Ogden in particular, condition plays a large factor and it's difficult to get a feel for these properties unless you can see them physically.Also, there's a local Real Estate Investors Association that's a great way to network offline (nureia.org) (Disclosure: I'm on the board).Good luck and let us know if we can help!

Are there risks that I should consider that wouldn't be a factor in the twin cities?

And is this in an urban area or in suburbs.. a lot of factors..

That way you know what vehicles are supposed to be there and can do drive by's to check.

Address: 118 Jaffrey Rd, Malvern, PA 19355Your agent is mainly a Radnor/Lower Merion agent ... obviously she does high-end listings, but I'd probably go with someone more local like Robert Van Alen who only has 7 active listings all of which are close by to yours ... your current agent has 19 active listings, meaning that at best, you get 5% of her workable time, not factoring in new business generation, being further from most of her listings, and higher end listings taking priority.Also, do understand, the Philly market overall has slowed quite a bit compared with just 6 months ago ... so even a new agent can't work magic. 

If I were you I would take a drive by the place and look beyond the property to see if it’s an overall solid street to get renters in.

@Dan Romnek A lot of factors go into the determination of what property size we are buying and are "sweet spot" . 

Are you suggesting it should be drive-able from where you are, or would a quick and inexpensive flight suffice?
