If I show the one in person and call the other on the phone is that ok to avoid any legal ramifications in the tenant search process?

I called property management companies in the town where I wanted to invest and asked them if any landlords wanted to sell their properties.

Call your local city/county and they will set you straight.

Transplanted to Cheyenne in early 2012 from Denver and now call Cheyenne my home.

Time to make calls and find leads and linking those leads to together with buyers building relationships etc ... but BUT it can be done and it is well worth it man

Days after I had called the cops on my neighbor for yet again parking in my driveway, he texted me claiming my tree was leaning toward his property, asking me to take it down.

Would it do me some good to call around to local banks in that area?

It usually takes multiple phone calls.

Jay Hinrichs points out in podcast 222 that one should pay off their properties sooner than later, in case something unforeseen/bad happens, you have multiple (good) exit strategies.You can still leverage your properties - you can get a HELOC (actually there is no such thing for investment properties, it's called portfolio line of credit or asset based LOC) and you'll be able to use it in case the need appears, without paying interest all the time.Let me know the conclusion you reach.

For example, if your tenant ends up with a hoarder as a neighbor, be prepared for lots of calls for an exterminatorSo, you can make money in condos but it can be a lot trickier.
