By "everything" I mean water, electricity, internet, cable/satellite TV, renters insurance and burglar alarm service.

It is kind of apt to bring it up here as I use a "generic" avatar expressly to NOT post my image on the Internet. 

My car is paid in cash, my rent and utilities are included on my paystub as part of my pay so only my phone bill and internet get reported as far as I know.

Hi Jennifer, I'm in the same boat, looking in Lake County, both North Chicago and Waukegan are great because the Navy base, Rosalind Franklin University, Amazon, and coming up a casino, are in the area.

Do you currently have electricity and internet access at your facility?

investor and have several rental properties here as well , got a tip from of my ex military  friend stationed in Lawton ,  this was about 9 months ago, looked on internet on homes available  and got a referral from my realtor for a local  Lawton real estate agent , of course did my homework  on businesses  / rental comps in area / crime /city plans for future / and rental population. 

Asking people on the internet is not going to help you in any way. 

I would love to hear strategies on finding off market deals in my local area while being thousands of miles away with very limited phone access (internet isn't an issue).

With a website like Facebook, most people are already spending time here every day, so there’s a great opportunity to catch the attention of buyers/renters through a different (and hugely popular) avenue of the internet.

First, dont post on the internet how much money you have.
