looking back I got a decent deal but it took too long to close and I need to find a team for the long term to accumulate fourplexes or build them.I'm wondering if people involved are just washing their hands if my deal rather than grow from it.Emails from before closing were insane looking back on it. 

Less governmental involvement, restrictions, fees, red tape, etc. here in SW Florida. 

And one area that I’m keeping my eye on is Franklin.

I've actually done both, but typically when it's more than 2 people, pets, or kids are involved. 

I'm not sure I'd have a PM oversee another contractor but I would probably have them involved at some level especially if you are working long distance.

The bad news is that there is no part of the game that's inexpensive, and much of it involves fair chunks of time for approvals. 

Actually, one of these groups is involved in the syndication, so I also plan to reach out to them on Monday.

Most syndication business plans involve a value-add strategy of some sort. 

I don't have any properties besides my primary residence yet, however I've been keeping an eye on the market.

thanks for the replies, to clarify a bit more, I'm mainly looking for an agent who can be my eyes and ears in the case I'm not able to be there in person to view the property.
