Bigger Pockets is a great place to learn and connect with fellow investors.If you’re looking to invest long distance, I definitely recommend building your core-4 team.

Hi Eric,Great question—estimating operating expenses can definitely be tricky, especially for items like maintenance, CapEx, and make-ready costs that vary widely between properties.

 Hey GUYSOver the years, I’ve worked on creating high-converting funnels for marketing agencies, and one thing I’ve noticed is that the core principles of attracting, nurturing, and converting leads are just as relevant for real estate investors.I’ve been diving into strategies that could help investors streamline their deal flow, attract motivated sellers, and build better relationships with private lenders.

Build your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

Going to the Rainforest Cafe on the riverwalk as a kid is a core memory for me lol.Good luck on your investment journey!

Once you feel you've built a strong team with your first property and have solid systems in place, I would then start buying more aggressively and taking on bigger projects.I suggest reading this BP article on the core 4.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-team

It would be ideal to chat with investors operating in the Midwest, but I welcome anyone's perspective on BRRRing from a considerable distance (plane flight away).Thanks!

Additionally, you want to start building your "Core 4": agent, GC, lender, and PM. 

@John Mason rightly mentions your CORE 4. 

OOS investing has operational inefficiencies, because you work remote.
