I also drive-4-dollars regularly and have started cold calling and doing RVM's w/ personal letters as follow ups with these. 

The drive to earn the Ph.D. is actually more of a passion.

Optimally, I would like to manage my first rentals myself to get the learning experience, so finding something within driving distance would be great.

I have learned a lot from continuously studying, analyzing deals, and "driving for dollars." 

If the answer is No, then let her passion for it drive her to seek less expensive resources for her education.

Aspirational goals are what drive us forward (read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill).

I'm looking for a property management company that can work with SFH in Indianapolis and surrounding areas, possibly as far as Anderson.

My go to is in boca ... but of a drive for you.

Also, note that Wilkes-Barre involves a lot more work for permits than the smaller municipalities that surround it.

I'm going to move and will be in a location where I can easily invest in a few MSA's within easy driving distance.The challenge to getting a solid handle on what those MSA's are doing overall is finding decent data: it's either for a single point-in-time (not showing year-over-year trends), dated, not reputable/no idea where it comes from, or too much money to take a chance on it answering my questions.Any recommendations?
