If you choose to invest in a market distant from your own it may be very advisable to find a trustworthy local partner or property manager who can help you monitor your investments, at least until you become expert in that market yourself.

In 2010, we moved again and decided to rent to some friends - a young, very responsible, very trustworthy couple.

Do you have a good bid lined up with a trustworthy contractor?

The key is to buy the right property in the right neighborhood managed by a trustworthy property manager.

-What other ways can I help to come off as a professional, reputable, trustworthy business man?

Depending on the scope of work to be done, I'm targeting projects between 30-90 days (SFH or multi) from purchase to listing, and need to put together a solid team on the ground that can get through multiple projects a year.I am hoping for some introductions to reliable and trustworthy contractors that have a great team of skilled labor partners to make everything run smoothly.

The "Pennysaver" is nowhere to be found in Victoria, (although I should call distributor).It seems to me that partnering up with a trustworthy Realtor is the only way to go, paying then a Finders Fee for a lead, and another fee for a COMP (comparison) - and hope that (s)he doesn't scoop up the property before you do.I'm looking for a deal (who isn't) on a residence, and even better if I could use it as a music-yoga studio.After I escape the isolation of this island I can network with a local REI club for more info.Many Thanks.

As it relates to the onsite manager, the common generic strategy is to interview the existing tenants to find a capable, trustworthy, willing person to be your manager.

Not everyone you meet will be dependable or trustworthy.
