HI @Dave ChengoueAs you continue REI I would suggest checking out this website.

If you just find someone random person from those websites, you would be very lucky to find someone that understands REI.If you need a referral, happy to introduce you. 

Quote from @Jake Rauch: Hi what tools, websites do you use to decide on market to invest in?

There is a free web site you can list your section 8 rentals on. 

You can set it up yourself at www.sunbiz.org , which is the website for the State of FL Division of Corporations.

What is the website to find the lenders and their experience?

However, Montgomery County as of yet has not updated their forms or website, included the landlord/tenant handbook and they are still not enforcing.

I’ve got a website, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

@Hunter Duplantis what @Gino Barbaro said is exactly what I was going to suggest.When you have vacancy is the time to experiment and apply your original thesis.I’m not trying to play Monday quarterback here but, you should be highly confident in where the rents should be well in advance of having a vacancy.That being said, after confirming competition rents on websites (I’d also recommend Craigslist and Facebook marketplace), you should be in alignment there.  

So, the question is not whether to invest remotely, but where to invest.Investment TeamRegarding properties in distant cities: While books, podcasts, seminars, and websites offer general knowledge, you'll ultimately purchase a specific property in a specific location—each with its own unique conditions.
