So many times I would tour a home with a client at 8:30am, go to the office and do some prospecting, meet with my team over lunch, research new listings and follow up on phone calls all afternoon, then go home only to have the phone ring during dinner because an offer was coming in at 8:00pm, so race back to the office or property and negotiate a deal, which may or may not close!

@Tea Houck you are asking a very generic question and looking for a very specific answer. 

Since you are asking for general advice on out of state investing, here is my two cents worth...I agree with @Hattie Dizmond, you need to have a reliable team on the ground to be your eyes and ear.

I can direct user selections to different cell phones, screen calls, give direct extensions to different team members.

I am looking to expand my company and build my team in Seattle, WA.

I can eventually hire a manager (Or team of managers) to take over my job.

Make sure to network with members near you https://www.biggerpockets.com/meet You may just find a team for your investing career.

Once you start taking the classes, set up meetings with the managers or owners of some of the local brokerages and ask them about the kind of training they have for new agents, if it is possible to team up with more experienced agents or a team, etc.

I can't say enough about you and your team.

@Fred Dray My Current situation is we are a property investment company managing it's own portfolio.We outsource most maintenance jobs to individuals.The management arm has been overlooked by me and the Managing Director when he is available.However my big weakness is that as the company is growing bigger I need to build a strong team and I would like to digitize my management(been mostly old school) so as to provide concise reports for company management.Therefore, I have no idea how to go about it as I've been mostly conducting things myself over the years.Please assist on how to go about this...
