Hey BiggerPockets community,
I'm planning a trip to Cincinnati, Louisville, and Pittsburgh in late October to explore these cities and scout out potential investment properties. I’m a builder/carpenter from Northern ...

Shout out to Pensacola BP folks.   GreatPlace.   Down thru Tuesday dropping car off for our son taking 3 month Navy training.   Let’s hookup if you want to talk Self Storage or Country Subdivisions.  Or Teak plantatio...

Are you allowed to visit the property ?

What kind of move-in inspection do they perform?

Visiting can be nice, but cash flow and stability should drive the decision.

You can schedule a call with a link in my bio and visit my Youtube channel to get some info on other things to consider.Best of luck!

If you want to invest in Pittsburgh come visit, but there are good spots 1-2 hours from New York like the Lehigh Valley.

@Parris Taylor I think tying twillio into pre-planned reminders about what's coming: rent due dates, safety visits, filter changes, maintenance plans, etc would be great to keep me AND the tenants consistent. 

Finding the Right SpaceHow do I find spaces that could work for this kind of multi-use setup?

If you invest in the right places and in the right kind of real estate, you can get higher returns than at home.There's nothing like an international market in that every country is different and, within countries, you can have very different regions like in the US.I would generally avoid investing in Japan specifically.
