If I'm the seller in an out of state transaction, I'll just have the title company or an attorney close the transaction.

Quote from @Alyssa Wright: I still post all of our companies rentals on Craigslist and I love it!

When no big chain was there to help us out the Slut helped us show appreciation to a title company there that went above and beyond in a recent 1031 we did.

Having a good team is important -- especially with lenders, title company and contractors. 

For the last 3 cities, I talked to turnkey companies whose numbers on paper looked good but decided not to go with those cities since I knew nothing about them. 

As a professional management company we have a 10-Day or Quit Notice for late renters.

Now we're seeing incredible population and job growth and major companies moving and developing here like Intel and Amazon - great macroeconomics and strong rental demand.

Hi Guys,Trying to do some rehab project in Cincinnati OH, a local Agent refers me Robert Mincey at "Operation Tango Yankee Inc." to me, said who is a Rehab Contractor and can do any works.Here are the links I find about him and his company:https://sites.google.com/operationty.com/operation-tango-yan...https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-mincey-0165b030https://hi-in.facebook.com/people/Robert-Mincey/pfbid0poSxud...Have anyone used Robert Mincey and its company "Operation Tango Yankee Inc." before?

Also start networking to start buildign your team of find contractors, handymen, private lenders, real estate attorneys, title companies, architects,wholesalers.... 

Other options could look like a property closer to you or in an area you are more familiar with, could be turnkey options with an established company, could be partnering with someone to gain some experience.
