Since you plan to travel often, focusing on systems and building a reliable team: agent, lender, property manager, and contractor. 

I have a good team (contractor, agent, mortgage) and think I can figure it out.

A good commercial real estate agent should be able to point you to one.

I began inviting them to online zoom meetings I would hold with brokers, agents and investors... friends I had made along the way, where we would just talk strategy, loan types, current market trends etc.

is it a real estate agent or escrow company?

For $1997, I would expect he give us access to his members of his team such as realtors, agents, property management, etc but that’s not the case.

I have put the rental price below the market (as suggested by local real estate agents).

My priority was finding reliable mentors and peers who could help me learn the ropes, offer guidance, and even share insights about overcoming the unique challenges I was facing as a new agent and investor.Networking wasn’t easy at first.

We are actively submitting LOI’s and interviewing PM’s, inspectors, and insurance agents.

I email the sellers agent all the info , and she emails back that the deck isnt up to todays code .
