Getting started - out of state investing

[Mark Kim]

Excited to get started investing in real estate, but would like some advice on best first steps.

I live in a very expensive metro area, which is why investing in a different area is attractive. I am considering the Dallas Forth Worth area at the moment, as it strikes me as a high growth area with continuing future upside. Open to other market suggestions as well.

As a potential out of state investor, I would appreciate advice on how to meet local real estate agents familiar with investors and oarticularly those with experience advising on B RRR targets. I think finding a good agent is probably the right first step, but I realize as an out of state investor interested in BRRR that a good contractor and property managers are a must as well. Is it best to find these all these partners first before trying to invest in a property?

Any advice on how to get started would be appreciated.
