anxiety over out of state investing

[Amit Kumar]

I've been planning on getting a deal done. initially I was going to invest in an airbnb (out of state with people I know) but those plans fell through. 

After reading David Greene's book on Long distance real estate investing I wanted to give this another shot. I'm planning on investing in Florida (Tampa) - but I'm now having some anxiety over the process -- primarily finding a contractor. I have had difficulty having people come to my home for work, how will this work in another state where I don't know anyone! 

I think I just wanted to vent and say this out-loud (or type onto this forum). I'll take some deep breaths and try to trust the process and hopefully not lose any money
