Buying from a wholesaler with only two properties under your belt could be a real problem as their ARV is always too high and repair costs too low, depending on how much you know to date.

DM me and I can send you the schedule online for them if you want to come North, but I am also happy to connect you with a couple investors right in your area who are active and go to meetups in Monmouth.

The other has experience with real estate with multiple units, however, is way behind on up-to-date systems and technology. 

.- You might also look into staging the property or taking high-quality photos to make it more appealing online.- Another option is to list it on multiple platforms, including local real estate groups and social media.

I would go online and check other rentals in your area to see what other management companies are out there, and start contacting them.

In my mind, the agreement would look loosely like this: The option buyer pays an upfront fee to the option seller, giving the buyer a right to buy the property at any time between now and a certain date in the future, for a set price.

Please contact me ASAP or pay in full before xx date, or I will have to file for eviction."

Since you mentioned investing out of state, I'm assuming you're asking about getting a partner online, or at least not a friend/acquaintance.

It's online begging.
