To start it will be a 4wheel drive Ford Expedition but future plans are to have a much more accessible mobile unit to seat all parties involved!

The universities and the cultural institutions of the east side drive rents far higher than the west side. $1200/mo for a 2 bed apartment in a (very) desirable east side neighborhood is normal and expected--an equivalent (very desirable) Lakewood apartment is nearly half that.

I am looking in making my first deal after driving for dollars in my neighborhood.

I'm thinking of trying to take a couple weeks next year and do a slow drive from New Orleans down to Port Charlotte or so and check out some of these towns.

they were available in Audible format or audio so that I could listen to them while driving Maybe they are and I don't know it yet.

Dawn, We do not all shovel our tenants' drives by hand :-P Actually ...

Sure, there might be deals out there but driving 30 mins to South Lyon to meet the city inspector?

You might also drive around in various neighborhoods and see who is working, even knock on the door and ask the homeowner how they are feeling.

Seeing the comps is important, can't always get in, at least drive by.

I purchased it as kind of an experiment based on what I read by some people that they like busier roads to give them exposure to drive-by tenants.
