proper notice to enter is usually defined by the state as 24 hours notice. some states require 48. that is your starting point. that being said, coming through with a high amount of showings can be considered as disrupting the tenants right to peaceful enjoyment of their home. if you plan on coming through with one or two, you should be ok (legally) to give tenant prior written notice and come in regardless of their objections. if you think it may take multiple showings, you are likely better off to work with the tenant to set up a block of time for an open house. in extreme situations, you can consider offering a gift card to a local restaurant or movie theater to get them out. the tricky part is striking a balance between what is legal, entering with proper notice, and what is fair and reasonable, since the tenant can purposely leave the house an extreme mess to make it harder to re-rent, badmouth you to potential renters, and may even try to refuse entry. how you approach will depend on your relationship with tenant.

I am looking to connect with current builders/developers in the Atlanta and metro areas.

@Quinn Jackson As a lender (purchaser of non-performing loans), I would pretty much never allow a borrower to do a wrap on one of my loans, assuming that there was the proper verbiage in the note itself.

I havent made too many connections just yet, looking to develop some in my area.

I recommend these cities not because of the casino but because of the new silver line extension and major development within the Seaport region. 

If it does, how do you really evaluate a property properly?

Some people want to develop their own real estate empire, others just want financial independence. 

We're concerned with the tenant burning down the building if they don't use it properly.

While I've never lived in Phoenix I find it hard to believe that Tucson has a lower affordability rating than Tempe, Scottsdale or Phoenix proper.

Intimidate and threaten rather than go through proper channels to evict.
