How to buy an out-of-state investment property without a realtor?

[Gray Dyer]

Found a great investment property but trying to keep everything as cheap as possible and do a deal without a real estate agent(nothing against real estate agents). I found the owner of the property and can message them on social media but I'm not sure where to go from there. I've bought a few homes with real estate agents and I'm familiar with you usual steps but are there other things I could do myself to save on closing costs. Title fees, etc... Would love to hear from other who do it themselves!
