But for a couple weeks, it shouldn't be too much impact.

Welcome @Stephen Smith Stay plugged in to the podcast and forums and then attend meetups.

He or she will just be straight up and teach you what works, not drag it out.....over a hour...or in some cases a couple months..

Couple things to think about with regards to spreading people out from city centers:Even if the 2 hour commute is tolerable/desirable etc, there is still fuel/electricity that has to be spent during that ride.

We have a couple of properties with them and it has been a great experience so far.  

Couple of rules to implement: no pets, no significant others staying over more than a weekend's time, no mini fridges or heaters.

I love the team that I have in place, which is a major factor keeping my focus in the same geographical area.Going forward, I'd like to explore multifamily rentals and maybe expand to a second market such as North Florida or Central Arizona.I'd also like to get more involved in the real estate investing community in general and attend some meetings at a local REIA.I'd love to share any of my experiences if it helps someone.I look forward to being more involved as a member of the Bigger Pockets community. 

I'm currently reading a couple commercial real estate books (one of which is a textbook) where the author speaks of some of their own experiences (for example, incorrectly verifying all owners of a MF he was trying to purchase thus being unable to sue for breach of contract when they backed out).  

I have never had a problem with people abusing this.I also have over 50 5 star reviews on Homeaway because renters don't have to want for any basic supplies.Did someone give you a less than stellar review due to them being short a couple rolls of TP?

A couple of answers.
