I can tell you I'd rather be able to drive to my property and check it out occasionally (assuming you're outsourcing management) rather than flying to Cleveland.

The comps are driving the cost. 

You can really learn a lot when you surround yourself with people out there actively investing.

Advertising in BP Marketplace will drive inquiries. 

I am having trouble finding a few prospective assets for my team one of which is an investor friendly Insurance agent in the Minneapolis and surrounding cities area here in Minnesota.

Brew your own coffee, brown bag your lunch and drive a beater.  

Also I dont think that the Expo 2020 will drive prices higher, like people will come for the expo and buy a house?

Trouble is, I'm not sure about turn key rentals as I've seen some experienced investors like freedom mentor (Phil P) try them and get out of them, recommending that you be within driving distance of your rentals.

I want to surround myself with people who are doing this not only in IL but anywhere so I can receive help and give help if possible
