A trip the city will allow you to understand what is possible, based on zoning, lot coverage, etc.

The thing that weighs on my mind is that a tenant would trip.

The example here - our large french-door refrigerator keeps tripping the breaker, so the guests have to go flip it back on or their food spoils.

I think I've heard its normal to give 6% back but I'm not sure how often to pay them back or when or if 6% is actually normal or not.I do plan on paying for premium once I get closer to actually purchasing a property (I'm looking to purchase in october, when my lease ends in my current apartment) but I am still learning about tools and how to use them before spending my free uses.Also, I'd love to meet new people and come to any sort of events,I don't know a ton of people in socal so I'm open to basically anything.I do spend a lot of time camping and am currently trying to get people together for a ski and cabin trip up to Big Bear.I look forward to meeting ya'll!

Consider taking trips to a few cities on your short list to get a feel for them before you decide where you want to live.

My business partner and I are making a quick trip to Memphis to check out the market and surrounding areas.

Crashing at a friend's condo between trips, back in Casper during longer breaks to satisfy owner occupancy ;)

I currently live in California but plan on making a trip out to Atlanta in a few weeks, and I would appreciate meeting up with any of the following:fellow rental property investorsreal estate agentsmortgage brokers or lendersproperty managersIf you are one of those people and would like to meet up for a drink or something, I'm buying!

Short of literal swamp land, just about all of Florida’s RE is super hot right now,  that said, a 10 cap is going to be tough to find unless you’re willing to go to tertiary markets (really small towns) or into C class or war zone areas.That said if you know you’re coming for sure maybe it’s worth a trip down to do nothing but network with local investors and possibly agents and commercial brokers.
