First time out of state investor

[Amanda Skipper]

What is a good way to feel out of state real estate agents and others that I will need to build my business. I am not able to fly to meet up at the moment and probably won't be able to for 6 months or so. What are some good questions to ask?? Thanks in advance!

Hi Amanda,

Some questions I ask.

- Do they invest in that market as well?

- Do they have off-market deals in the pipeline?

- Are they working mostly with retail buyers or investors?

- Will they go out to the property, take videos and go out of their way to show you the properties?

- Who do they know? Contractors? PMs?

It's important to ask questions up front, but it also comes with the understanding that you will have to churn through people as you find more information. As you start to do deals and make offers, you will see who you like and work the most well with!
