Do you definitely need a property manager for OOS investing, especially as a first time investor?

I have a goal to buy my first real estate investment in 2025.

Buying existing plans and tweaking them through an architect could save time and money compared to a fully custom design.

You can search for him here on BP and see how many times he has reached out to help people with timely expert advice. 

No doubt buying the first property can seem very scary but ideally, you are working with a realtor and lender who owns STRs.

I have found a good market and have built a good team thus far and I'm ready for my first flip.

This means I will need to move my family of 6 while simultaneously finding a great investment property to 1031 (45 days to identify/180 days to close) and try to find a place for my family to live at the same time. 

Hi Lawrence, 3 quick pointers:1. it's normal to be nervous with doing anything for the first time 2. over prepare, practice your scripts and role play3. it's just a conversation, don't sweat itAlso make sure you know what the goal of your call is.

I’ve been in this business a long time, and I know firsthand how overwhelming that first deal can feel—especially when it comes to financing.
