Thanks, looks like I didn’t mention that the project is in SF. Since I’m not here it’s probably important to have someone who can be present at the job site

 Yeah definitely want someone local!

Hey @Clarence Ng - happy to chat! I’m a Realtor and construction project manager in the LA area. Mostly helping investors with development projects and ADUs. @Shiva Bhaskar and I work on some apartment projects in LA too! 

Lots of folks hire owner’s reps on projects. You may want to google that too. What’s the project you’re working on?

@Liam Mullins that's awesome! I also have rentals out of state and am bringing my focus more local now, with the ADU and also house hacking. It's been fun helping more people house hack in CA too since I'm a realtor and can actually walk people through it. Would love to hear more about your RE projects.

We ended up having an awesome class with lots of engagement! Thanks so much everyone for your questions and direction. We'll do one again soon since there was a lot of interest in ADU construction in the Los Angeles area.

Hi @Kareena Sharma! Thanks :) Shortly after this post I proceeded to have tons of problems with my property manager and construction. Luckily it's resolved now but sheesh, put me through the wringer!

I live in SoCal, these investments are all out of state in the same city. I have since started investing locally as well, and got my license here in CA to work with investors and house hackers. 

I personally visited in order to learn the market, and meet the folks who would be part of my team. I have not personally visited all the properties, but the realtor, PM, inspector, contractor have before I buy. 

Have you been thinking of investing out of state?
