Hoping to find someone familiar with Perry, IL who we can pay to help validate the physical location with google on the phone.

Just don't like people free roaming my property without my consent or not being physically present.

This is less of an issue if you plan to hold the property for a number of years.I do like the idea of having a number of properties in close proximity as it does make management easier and allows for some economies of scale. 

The "driving around" approach can be tough because not all vacant lots have physical mailing addresses.

This will allow you to purchase the property and rehab with a much lower down payment optionIn response to the post above, @Kristina Kuba is correct in that there is not a growing tech industry in Fort Myers, and there likely never will be due to our proximity to larger hubs such as Tampa and Miami.

This is really no more your problem than the tenants phone bill, except it is tied to the physical state of the property.

An attorney I am working with wants to write a letter to try and convince the insurance company on the basis of Efficient Proximate Cause.

Introduced to the owner through another real estate investor in a college physics course.

And may present you with some degree of physical danger and you may need to be armed.....can you handle this lifestyle for a few bucks?

What websites do I look at to find multifamily properties, what do I look for in the property physically, etc.?
