Lessons learned? Challenges?

It's important to thing several steps ahead when you are performing an out of area flip/hold. Things move a lot slower with less control than a local flip.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Derrick Jackson in Chicago did a great job arranging the purchase of this home.
