I'm planning a visit in June and will likely make some time to get to know the area a bit while I'm there, but I wanted to know if there were any other wholesalers in the area that would be willing to partner up with me?

I love visiting Columbus myself, so I can understand why STRs are so popular there.

You will get a visit from Code Enforcement once you list on there.

Me and my husband are investing on properties in the Detroit area , I want to know if anyone can share contact information of  contractors that can remodel houses, I travel on September 9-10 to Detroit and I need to schedule a visit with a contractor so we can visit the property together and I can get a quote of the job that need to be done.I have try to contact a few contractors but nothing yet.

Philadelphia seems to be more feasible due to its up and coming neighborhoods as well as its proximity to NYC (since I could potentially visit at least once a week or in any emergency). 

They said they slap the tenant with a 3 day notice, then make a follow up visit informing tenants they will remove their stuff and change locks if they don't pay the rent.

When I used to go back to visit in the summer it really got to me, privacy and confidentiality were not in the towns vocabulary.

., rehab, PM, etc...).Visiting the State would be nice, but unless you plan on making a week of it (even that isn't enough time), you are much better off with a relationship with someone with "boots on the ground".

...use when visiting rental properties or meeting with tenants/applicants?

Could you write off travel expenses / meals as well when you're visiting the property?
