Hi @Harrison Blaufuss Fellow SoCal member investing in Indy, there is a lot of homework you will do but at the end of the day you are relying heavily on your team, at first your realtor that found the house and has given you their future predictions of the area,  then your PM will tell you what they think of the home and area, if you like it and place an offer then after the detailed inspection you can call and talk to the inspector for a few minutes about the house and area. 

I can't imagine that there are landlords on this site who don't do it. 

Hi my name is Cameron and I have been a BP member for a few years, I have only recently become active through the site.
