Make sure the big ticket items are in good shape and will be for a while.

They have 3 rentasl they bought from a Top flight Turn Key in Memphis.. first year was fine as stated then the turn over then the bad renters then.

I flight instruct for fun.

We bought the tickets for Sacramento for the end of the month, where I will very unfortunately have to allow @Brian Burke to continue his habitual abuse of me. 

My tickets get more expensive if NJ starts winning;)

The most expensive is First Advantage, which will cost probably around $3k per person for a full background check, but these guys are very GOOD (very, very detailed, down to how many parking tickets a person has in a particular city).

I know bandit signs are illegal in my area so I want to avoid any potential tickets if Im in the wrong.

I am sure however that there is big money chasing this dream so - the idea is to keep your eyes and ears open - to get in on it, where ever possible.The big building I refer to here is already owned by an associate, I guess the ticket here is to secure a lease and then find potential subleases for those who want to grow - like with your situation the area has access to many freeways - Carson Street is being worked on and expanded to bring more commerce to Pittsburgh and the Railroad is expanding to bring a distribution center to this area.So the possibilities are endless here.

I was thinking of limiting it to a couple of states where we have direct flights from RI so it would be easier to fly in/out to oversee things.

I buy an airplane ticket and be at your house Monday night.
