I have found it takes one success to get him to see it.

It's always a little more challenging investing in out of state (I invested out of state for 15+ years) but you can still be successful doing it. 

@Jordan Meltzer congrats on the mid term biz and your success. 

If you can come in and operate effectively I think you'll find success rather quickly due to that.BTW - for a property management platform I would highly recommend Buildium.

However, the right Broker is very important when first starting because they can train the agent how to run their business and find success.

Because the chances of successfully concluding a wholesale transaction when you lack experience, knowledge and capital are so infinitesimally small that you’d be better off playing the lottery.  

I personally think you can successfully market both your property management (PM) and buy/sell real estate services under one brand if you position them correctly.

I am not sure how active his company Open Door is on BP.

I have been a realtor for +8 years helping out-of-state investors buy and sell here successfully too.

if they were that great you'd never see them because they'd all get bought up before they even came to you.I think what @Travis Biziorek is saying is correct - you need a strong network to be successful.
