We're able to give an owner "reasonable" (read: 48+ hrs) notice and enter their unit to investigate leaks.

After investigating further, I got hooked up with the broker who the Non-P exclusively deals with.

In addition to seeking a supportive investment club, I have been investigating local (San Diego) clubs that could be worth looking into.

Don't forget your notices of the note being sold either, ensure those were accomplished.I'd seek a deed-in-lieu before I walked into settlement, that's another issue and can be sticky with a broker if not done properly, you have standing to investigate a borrower's credit and their intentions!

I would investigate the counties around you to find the county that has the most population growth - that would be county to invest in.Here's Florida stats:  http://www.edr.state.fl.us/content/presentations/population-demographics/DemographicTrends_11-6-13.pdf

@Daniel Benoit and @Russell Pitts - isn't this what cased a fraud investigation in cook county?

I'm obviously very green to investing and I'm really still in the investigating and educating myself period so that I can do what will work best for me and my investing goals. 

Adjusters, investigators, and fire marshals are scheduled to come visit asap.Soon comes the fun game of cat and mouse, where the insurance company tries to low ball me, and I get the oh-so-enviable task of arguing my case for more money.

I closed a FSBO in January and one in February and both still do not show the new owners info in the TREND records.More to come as I investigate this!

Again, it's your responsibility to investigate and verify how well the PM communicates and then accept responsibility for your decision.
