How to recruit help investing remotely (non-turnkey)

[Mike Percy]

Does anyone investing in the Atlanta area have suggestions on who to work with when looking to build a remote investing team for buy, fix and hold on SFR? I am trying to avoid going Turnkey at the moment.

My tentative plan is to find and build a good relationship with both a local RE agent and an inspector (I need to be able to put a lot of trust in them both) who can do video walkthroughs for me. I believe for light rehab I would be less reliant on accurate GC estimates which I want since this will be my first rental.

Have others here done something similar? Are there other kinds of people besides RE agents and inspectors I should be considering partnering with or recruiting help from (to do drivebys and send me videos / photos and their opinions on a property)? Any ideas for a better plan?

Yes, I know that buying local is simpler but I am in the Bay Area and the prices + rent-to-buy ratios are just unbelievable here.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or referrals!
