First time invester looking to learn about a new market for out of state investing

[Josh Scroggins]

I live in a place where the rent to mortgage ratio just doesn't work.  I'm heavily leaning towards investing in Milwaukee.  I've already found a great real estate guy and lender who are both investors and renters.  What I'm missing are a couple of other key people for my team there.  I need to find a contractor and a property manager I can trust.  Given that this is an out of state investment strategy, the property manager is likely the most important person for my team.  I'm about 5-6 months out from having enough for the 25% down payment I'll need for an investment loan on a duplex there to get started.  Any tips from out of state investors or people who invest in Milwaukee that might know some trustworthy property managers and/or contractors?  Thank you!
