Hi Kara,One of my property managers- an extremely talented and trustworthy guy- manages a few properties in Amsterdam.

Find someone local to the state it is in.The talent is with the local lenders (I am of course biased), but our licensing is such that we can typically only lend in one state unless we do a significant portion of the licensing stuff all over again, pay an extra set of annual fees, take an extra set of continuing education courses, etc etc, and then I think you are even supposed to have an office in that state (on paper at least).The property needs to be in the same state as the local lender, you do not.

It does not matter if your soft skill is data manipulation, person to person networking, social media, people management, there are some universal talents that you can use to build invaluable relationships worth far more than one grand with only the cost of some sweat equity.

The Employer side of 401k matching, DB or Defined benefit plans, or SEP - self employed pension, and other employer contributions are counted as a cost of doing business to retain officers, directors, and talent. so while this may be viewed by you as your own money being contributed else where to invest for your retirement, on our end  it "counts," as an expense to your bottomline.
