OOS people, how'd you do it?

[Jacob Peistrup]

As an agent, I get a lot of OOS people looking at buying in my market -- St. Louis, MO. 

I can't speak from experience when it comes to OOS investing, which seems challenging enough as it is, but a lot of them are doing it as their first investment. So my question to people who have succeeded in doing OOS investing, what do you recommend doing to start? What kind of support do you look for in an agent? What are the biggest challenges and how do you manage them? Do you do everything completely remotely?

Any insight that could help me better serve the OOS community would be greatly appreciated! Thanks to everyone in advance.

@Caleb Brown awesome advice, I've been thinking about making a list and explanations of the most popular areas people ask about who aren't familiar with the area
