out of state option
I contacted a realtor here in oregon and let her know what I was looking to purchase, SFH. She said she has worked with investors but there just really isnt anything to speak of in the area and most people dont get anything unless its a lucky break. She asked if I had considered buying out of state and I have but it brings questions. Do you go scope out the state first,or do you contact a realtor there to locate the good and bed spots. If you have an LLC how do you handle who will be the representative in the new state that can sign documents that may come? Thanks for your input.

Good luck with investing in another state. Have you considered a turnkey company to get you started?
