Also talk to the local building inspectors and find out who they recommend and who they constantly have problems with.

It has been tough to find attractive deals in Fairfield County.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Then when a question comes up Google search to find authorities that are deemed reliable.  

I went back to Memphis last year for the first time in six years to find all is as advertised with very minor exceptions.We have picture inspections done every four months, cost $75, because I'm a trust but verify guy.Good people, good service.   

Quote from @Sam Evrard: How do you go about finding areas to invest in with limited capital? 

Lean into that skill to find deals where others might overlook potential. 3.

You need a solid proven system to find the deals.  

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

I would love to meet and network to people in South Florida , and find a mentor or someone who has taken a similar investment route that I am doing from flipping to owning rental properties.Really just meet likeminded people.
