Help with strategies to establish boots on ground team

[Marco Egurvide]

Good morning BP,

Looking for insight as to how you have established a boots on the ground team when investing out of state. I live in California, want to invest in Florida. This would be my first out of state investment, looking for some insight because some of these PM companies especially for STRs is HIGH and turns some positive deals into bad ones.

Hi @Marco Egurvide

I would reach out to realtors in the Florida area who specialize in short term rentals, it would be especially good if they own a few themselves. From that point you can ask them for recommendations on their property managers and contractors whom they use for their own rentals. That way you can start to interview and get a sense for whose style shoots what you are looking for best. You can always start off with looking at the BP forums for investor friendly agents in Florida and ask for their network as well.
