Out of town NNN investing.

[Wells Mangrum]

I invest in local NNN real estate. I'm considering investing in out-of-town NNN. Out-of-town NNN would help diversify my portfolio. Also, if I buy the out-of-town NNN at my common vacation spots, then I could deduct travel expenses.

How does one perform due-diligence on non-local NNN real estate?

I am ok with employing a commercial broker who knows the location, but how do I know that I can trust that broker?

Also, if I instead get a strip mall and need a property management team, how can I find a property management team that I can trust?

Thanks in advance!
