I would check that you have an investor friendly real estate agent.

@Flavia Vangelotti - I am not following how the numbers look great from checking out the website, at least for the AL property in Cullman.  

They say they will sign my lease and also sent me an addendum to sign allowing them to sublet.There are a few reasons why i like this option for this property, but im wondering how to background check the company and the individual they are assigning to ensure ill be paid monthly as they claim. 

I will check them out. 

Also- helps to check-in/follow up and humanize yourself with the guest throughout the process from post-booking through their stay.

@Hunter HarmonMaking money through house hacking in San Diego can work well, but you need to check your money setup and how the market is doing first.

This said, I wanted to inquire/double check with some fellow professional title agents that I've got all the "rocks" I'll need to flip over neatly accounted for when dealing with *city properties.

Would it be weird to create a form that people can submit their properties for me to check out that would have all of the questions that I want answered, or would they probably laugh that off and not bother wasting their time? 

Much of what I'm experiencing is placing tenants, background checks, meeting them onsite, handling calls, dispatching maintenance to handle issues etc. 

You can also check meetup.com or search facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.
