@Adriese Williams follow landlord tenant laws with itemized list for security deposit and invoice requesting additional amounts that are over normal wear and tear and depreciation for age.

What kind of local resources or experts are you hoping to connect with during your visit?

Also will verify with HOA laws before purchasing.

It's charged on the first day the law allows (in my state we can't charge late fees until the 5th day).

That is awesome to hear that someone local is doing the same thing that I am trying to accomplish! 

At the very least you need a local person to handle the lease up experience with the tenant.

I’ve had neighbors ask if I can print something when their printer didn’t work, drop them off to pick up a car they left at a local bar if it’s on my way, water plants, etc.

Hey jeremy, sometimes the best options may not be local I recommend asking some qualified investment focused brokers 

Will depend on several factors like the type of property, type of tenants, your risk tolerance, other assets you own, your estate planning, laws where the property is located, etc.
