So to combat that I have multiple rental properties here and out of state......speaking of, if you have any good potential rentals in your area let me know. 

Sometimes there is nothing better than putting your own boots on the ground to check out a new area.

I'm interested in Orlando for the appreciation aspect but I mostly care about Cash Flow.I'm currently doing a lot of research about the areas but would like to network with people who have boots on the ground.

Is that correct and if so, what are the best techniques to combat this? 

Bonnie, I only recently learned about MTRs during the bigger pockets rookie boot camp, so I am still very much new to investing in general.

I know most of what I'd be doing will be similar as to when I was working in the company but I do have a few concerns.My biggest concerns are sellers being wary of working with someone from outside the US ( I'm sure some sellers will ask where I'm located) and not having "boots on the ground" to look at properties for me, as I currently do not have a partner nor know anyone I trust to look at properties for me.

@Brandon Rush Wow, havent heard of that one, sounds like a great book, I love the concept of using others' strengths to combat your weaknesses and vice versa, I will have to order this book right away and give her a good read!

I basically become the manager when they arrive and am the boots on the ground for their stay. 

The property taxes are just above the very lowest in the whole country as well and there are a lot of "boots on the ground" as far as out-of-state infrastructure as well.

I travel for a living and I'm able to save up a solid amount of cash, but in order to get started in real estate I believe I need someone boots on the ground.
