I was recommended that the Northeast was going to be nicer overall but I still need to make a trip there to check it out.

I lived there for 5 years while attending college (graduated in early 2017) and I currently make a trip down there about once a quarter to visit old friends (I live in south GA so it's about a 6 hour drive for me).

Thanks @Brian Levredge, I was interested in Chattanooga some time ago and made a trip last year to explore and check out the neighborhoods and seems like you are reflecting a lot of similar sentiment to numerous other people I was able to speak with.

About an hour plus from me, but may be worth a trip to see in person.Do any of these have self closing drawers J?

The thing that's tripping me up with it is that it doesn't NEED the repair right now, and may never need it in the future, but there's a higher risk of it happening for sure.

I advise people starting out to pick a market where you can get there easily - you need to visit yourself to get familiar with the areas, the kinds of deals available, and arrange trips where you can attend REIA meetings where you can meet people on the ground.

My husband and I have a trip planned for this summer to visit the area.

@Pat D.Thanks Pat.I will definitely listen to that episode on my next road trip.

The best way to keep a liability claim at bay is by providing clean and safe housing that focuses on not being negligent in repairs or deferred maintenance (specifically where people walk or go up and down stairs as trips and falls I would bet are the most common).

After a dozen+ deals, they trust their agent knows what they want, but they still make semi-annual trips to meet with their team, and lay eyes on their assets.
