I have a few mentors that are all based out of one area (windsor) that are pushing me to invest there but I have not been able to talk to anyone else about other possible locations in close proximity to my work.

Tenants may not have as much real estate experience as actual buyers or investors, but they still look for many of the same things buyers do such as good location, proximity to freeways, proximity to shopping/amenities, and school ratings.

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where you think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then only then pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

If you are using a virtual office instead of a physical one you will have a difficult time ahead of you.If you are contacted by a potential buyer you should begin a conversation with them, you want to know what they are looking for, when they want to buy, how far they are in the buying process, do they have financing in place, do they have their down payment, what type of loan are they planning to use, etc.? 

Who is doing what and any other contributions whether they are financial or physical or managerial.

Again a lot of it comes back to budget combined with personal tolerance for things like crime and proximity to industry as the east side has a lot of gross polluted areas and crime.

Physical features.

They do so with the presence of multiple physical office locations.

No one  wants to do physical work any, that’s way prices are going up. 

We source our own leads and have our own buyers, but we need a person with to physically check out the properties and meet with sellers face to face.
