Hi Gina,After managing hundreds of properties and working with investors for over 20 years, I can definitely appreciate your background and the systems you’ve built—especially having three contractor teams ready to go.

You will not be managing it, so there is no difference in doing it somewhere else in the US.

Managing remotely works until it doesn't.

Finally, speaking with property managers can provide valuable insights into rental demand, average occupancy rates, and tenant profiles in the area.

Hi Karla from Montreal, Canada-You ask an interesting question.Should your first real estate investment be new construction, since you and your partner have construction management experience, or flipping an existing home as you originally thought you would?

However, my true goal has always been to develop, buy, and manage real estate—something I’ve dreamed about since I was 12 years old.

Quote from @Ronald Rohde: Quote from @Joseph Gozlan: We own, operate and manage industrial & Flex in Texas.

Your time is best spent producing the revenue that allows you to invest in the first place.That includes using local agents you meet and feel are a good fit for you, property managers, possibly buying completed properties like the one you posted here, and outsourcing as much of the process as you can as you get started. 

So, I’m curious how you are managing to find your deals, whether you are buying at auctions or via marketing direct to sellers.
