Good afternoon Malachi,I am also an old (and future) Ohioan who is currently in Japan (Okinawa though) and investing in Southern Ohio.Maybe we can have a virtual Sake and trade notes.

For example, did you establish your bring mainly website, social media presence, order business cards, virtual phone numbers etc or did you just jump out there? 

I was strongly considering getting a virtual assistant to pre qualify the leads and make cold calls.

Every single LO I've seen across my desk when I represent the tenant/purchasers have violated the law so I get to tell my client that this is a virtually risk-free transaction for them. 

I never done a virtual wholesale out of state !

Technically yes, but with virtually any turnkey property is going to have very little equity in it.

I'd simply add that you also want to consider whether or not you want a local brokerage or a virtual brokerage. 

The keyboard will also get locked on Capslock and I don’t get alerts on it as fast as online.

I guarantee Buffett would not pay down a conventional home loan early and neither would virtually any 1%er.

and or your going to have to put up EM at some point .. so you need that money.. you don't want to lose it because your lender backs out.Anyway those are a few things to keep in mind.. right now finding properties at 70% ARV minus repairs is pretty tough to do.. and virtually impossible for a beginner UNLESS they are willing to spend thousands on marketing and go direct to sellers.
