Quote from @Jerry Zhang: HLets meet up for coffee what strategy wlare you implementing now? 

Finding a trustworthy contractor is crucial as I build my team remotely.I'm looking for a contractor who:Has experience with full-scale renovations.Is reliable, communicative, and meets deadlines.Can provide references from past clients.Is familiar with Birmingham's permitting and inspection processes.Any recommendations or insights you can provide would be immensely helpful in building my team.Thank you for your time and expertise!

I've been meeting all of my goals by being very active with my listings. 

It is hard to really keep up with those kinds of trends unless I budget 10k a year in updating the property which I am not going to do.I participate in our local council/mayor meetings.

Look at lower ARV properties 200k and below and you'll probably find some that can work as a flip or a BRRRR even with current interest rates.I also would recommend meeting with a lender and describing your goals. 

I'm meeting with a couple agents i was referred to through my network and am wondering what critical questions I should be asking them to understand if they are the right partners for me in this market, especially considering I will be managing this investment from the other side of the country, and what info I should be prepared to provide to them.

Nice to meet you.

They OWN their schedule.

Interview them by phone or during the showing to see if they will meet your basic standards.
