You simply cannot be subjected to their schedules for emergencies - I guarantee you in the event of a gas or water leak, for example, if the adjoining owner is at work or out of town, the gas or water company will turn off gas to the whole building if necessary, without their permission, so they might as well give you access to prevent a whole building shutoff for emergencies.

Most transactions will occur online anyway.

I was wanting to attend another seminar in my area (Orlando), but I dont see the events anymore.

I'd like to begin growing my own portfolio of cash flowing properties to hold onto long term.I've been saving for a house under the impression I needed 20% to be safe but have since had my eyes opened after going to a local event NetWork to Grow Your Net Worth and since then I've been doing new research.

@Jeffery OlaruHa - it was a great networking event. 

@Tanner Williams: the more real estate events you attend, the faster things will happen for you!

There are plenty in the Atlanta area and you can find them here at biggerpockets.com/events or meetup.com.

A great place to start is https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-and-happenings which you can use to find like-minded people in your area.Besides figuring out what your goals are, how you want to get started, and meeting like-minded people, the first action item would be to talk to a lender.

@Joe Delgrosso Follow the advice from @Amy Fulbright and @Salvatore Lentini - Start attending the KnoxREIA meetings, the Landlord Luncheons, and a number of other such events in Knoxville.

@Samuel Silver @Darian Berry @Harrison Smith Here's the link to the February event, see you all there!
