And of course a referral is also financially a lot more valuable than a typical gift.I also don't gift my clients with trinkets and for the longest time I felt bad about it, because the industry is guilt tripping us into closing gifts.

As a part of the Live training class, we include a field trip so you can actually see homes that are in full operation giving you the "context for the content" that we provide.You are correct in the fact that we do not include forms and templates for the operational documents that you will need to operate these homes.  

One major concern to me was they have a dog sitter come into the property whenever the tenant's boyfriend is on a work trip.

Also I will guarantee that if you do this you won't just make 1 trip.  

I have two upcoming trips to Florida in March.

I have made many trips to every market mentioned in this thread accept Hawaii - only one trip there so far. 

Permits are a trip.

I am planning a trip to South Florida later in the year.

Still I am looking to make my first investments in Kansas City soon following a trip I made there last month.  

@Rebecca Naranjo, I also live in Temecula and will be taking my first trip to Orlando & Tampa in two weeks to look for small multi-family homes.
