Purchase Process: First Out of State Property

[Account Closed]

Hi - pardon the ignorance here but I am looking to buy my first investment property out of state (in Houston, TX). When I am interested in a house, is there someone I can hire or work with to visit the property and such? Should I expect the agent I’m working with to do this, and how (if at all) can I involve a property manager for upgrade recommendations and how much I can expect to rent the property for as a second opinion, etc?

Should I solely rely on myself for all of this?

Trying to fully understand each player's role in the process leading up to the closing. Thank you!
