Hello @Amanda Skipper,While there's no better way to truly get a feel for a market than by being on the ground and exploring the neighborhoods firsthand, I want to assure you that investing remotely is absolutely doable—and many successful investors do just that.In fact, I know several investors who have built substantial portfolios in Memphis, and they’ve never physically visited the city, and they've done so successfully by leveraging local expertise, market data, and a solid support network.

I recommend you consult with a lender with expertise in investing, preferably someone local to you, to discuss the lending options best suited for your goals, strategy, and tactics.

Expertise and Experience: Property managers have specialized knowledge in managing properties, including understanding local market trends, legal requirements, and tenant relations.

Your husband's expertise is a big plus when it comes to spotting opportunities like this!

For more visibility, consider cannabis trade shows and industry events.

. - Concentrated investment thesis and focus: I am paying a sponsor high fees relative to a REIT for concentrated expertise in a narrow niche.

It's ugly as sin, but it's in the closet and won't be visible often.

A good EA or CPA will charge for their expertise, and it’s usually not cheap.

The expertise I have given has saved people hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If they're located two or more counties away, their expertise in the local market may be limited.
