Typically real estate-focused firms have investors in most if not all of the major US markets and are familiar with it.

We as a firm have investors working with us who have rental properties all over the US big and small.Finding a real estate-focused tax professional and one who can help with advisory and grow with you would be my suggestion to focus your efforts on finding.

In most cases, the owner/possible seller would want an option fee paid up front to entice them to entering into the option to purchase agreement, so assuming that is the case, would enter into the agreement with a pretty firm plan to purchase and not lose that option fee.

@Danny Van- thanks  1) if you have some equity in the property - you might consider getting a HELOC in place now  in case you  want to use any  equity in the future ...Its  easier to get a heloc in place on a primary home as compared to a rental  2) contact your insurance agent and  ask for an  estimate for how the insurance coverage and premium will  change  3) consider  a proeprty management firm if you dont want to  self  manage  4)  get any forms and  processes  in place  (  leases / credit checks / bank accounts/  etc ....)
