So, I reached out to a local brokerage, and they referred me to an agent with significant experience.This man has built a $30 million portfolio himself, and in just a couple of meetings, he completely shifted my perspective.

Sees a lot of off market stuff because he is a property manager as well.The toughest part about investing outside of your locality is finding boots on the ground that you can trust.

@Chase Calhoun mainly we work with local builders but we have also purchased from the regional builders as well.

She speaks at a lot of meetups locally as well.

For example, I’m in Orlando and CFRI is the local club.

To get started, connect with a knowledgeable real estate agent and lender, practice analyzing deals, and network through local investor meetups.

Otherwise, selling and using the proceeds to scale your portfolio locally could accelerate your long-term goals.

My only recommendation is you go with someone local to where you are.

I don't think one will make money on a net-net basis over the long term.I had asked the same question to local and foreign buyers agent in japan and had vague responses from them as they know the reality.The opportunity lies in the foreclosed property in Japan.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.
