I won't go with the riskiest opportunistic strategies, and will stick to core and core plus mostly with some value-added.

Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

Just don’t call them your “core 4” and you should be fine

For instance if you are buying 200 widgets for $1.00 each and selling those widgets for $20.00 each that is "Wholesaling" and the core of our markets (and a Rockstar move).

If it’s a value add core or core plus Freddie and Fannie small balance loans are probably going to be the best bet.For development heavy lift value add and adaptive reuse local commercial banks are the way to go Unless you want to use a HUD construction/renovation loan which is very time consuming but 40 year non-recourse very high LTC. 

Other than that you'll face similar challenges as those who are investing long distance but not necessarily from abroad...Great way to mitigate risk in those situations is as follows.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

The key is making the property desirable enough and priced for the best types of tenants.I'm crunching lots of numbers and getting my head around a lot at the moment as I learn more, but the core of the model hasn't really changed since I conceived of it.Obviously finding cash is the big looming missing piece right now (although I'm sure there are lots of missing pieces).Thanks, I look forward to meeting all of you locals!
