Looking to invest in out-of-state markets. What questions to ask

[Steve Holly]

 I’ve been a real estate agent for nearly 10 years but I’m going to start investing. I’m surprised how much of a different perspective is needed for investments versus residential real estate sales. Anyways, I am planning on talking to a few different agents in a few select markets. Since these will be markets that I am unfamiliar with… What would be the main 3 to 5 questions that you would ask to better understand if that market is a good investment opportunity?
