Check with your local real estate group(s) to see how they handle this.

You need to check with local regulations - especially your township/city.

Do a quick gut‑check with data: pull crime trends by block, verify vacancy with two PMs, confirm conservative rent comps, and stress‑test for longer lease‑ups and heavier CapEx.

I’ll definitely start checking out some REI meetups in my area and start building those in-person connections.

If you’re open to looking out of state, I’d really recommend checking out Columbus, Ohio.

Looking forward to your advice based on this info.I suggest checking the legal description of the property (and confirming with your lender).

Just one thought, Condos in Florida are going through big financial, legal and insuring changes, check that point out before committing. 

For bird‑dogging across Ontario and Georgia, keep it simple and legal-first: avoid “referral fee” language where licensing laws restrict it, and instead use a written “marketing/lead assignment” or “consulting” agreement that clearly states you’re paid for delivering verified lead info, not negotiating or practicing real estate; get a local attorney in each jurisdiction to sanity‑check the template.

Yes, I will definitely swing by and would enjoy checking out the other focus groups as well. 

👏 If you’re starting to scale, check out Baselane — it’s been a game changer for me in tracking cash flow, automating rent collection, and keeping all my property finances in one place.
