Who do you have currently in your home market that you can trust - generally you are going to want a trusted "core team" to do long-distance investing - for a flip, should definitely include a trusted partner and/or contractor + agent + lender at the very least

Communication and trust are key.2️⃣ How I Met My Business Partner: Many times, people connect through networking, mutual acquaintances, or real estate investment groups (similar to this forum!).

I want to start advising my buyers to use land trust transfers when we acquire properties that have underlying notes since we are seeing an increase in notes being called.

I'd start smaller, and build out a team you trust first. 

Its not impossible to do it 100% remotely but when its your first out of state rental - its probably much much better to go in person for it - and then when you find an agent that you trust and has proven to be able to be up to the job and your needs, then future properties you can be more comfortable not going down to look at all the properties

70% rental properties, 20% trust deeds and 10% cash. 

AS the spam rate goes up your phone number gets less trusted with the carriers.  

Policy Loan rates are pretty low right now... but it depends on the company too.You can try Integrity Bank and Trust in Colorado Springs.

This builds trust over just throwing out blanket statements.
