I actually just did this, then went on a road trip to visit 8 of my favorite spots over 9 days.

For sure a big investment, it may be worth making the trip and familiarizing yourself with the different areas. 

Jutting into chaparral and other scrublands, the development proposals have drawn the ire of environmental groups concerned about habitat destruction, wildfire and greenhouse gas emissions from long car trips.

@Dana Boyd and @David Albrecht  I am up for a trip to California to be a guest speaker if you start a group or find one in which to participate.

I make a trip to Ikea in Charlotte and get sofas and chairs, not beds.

If you don't need to use these items regularly, and it will be a decent amount of time for renting, it seems like it could be worth a rental truck trip outside of your normal area to store items in. 

There are plenty of agents that are so desperate for a deal that they'll trip over themselves to get a showing. 

While I don't invest directly out of state, the couple investors I know that do first hand visit their properties 2-4 times per year, so making it easy to get to and/or a trip you can combine with pleasure makes it that much easier to do it.

I wouldn't even bother calling appliance repair because they charge $100 per trip before even fixing anything.

Husband owned it outright as an inheritance, I convinced him to invest our money to make it into a passive income that funded our 6 month trip to Tahoe How did you add value to the deal?
