Hello, my name is Trevor and I’ve recently took in the interest of wholesaling properties, I have never networked before so I’d like to make friends and potential clients in which we can both help eachother out some. 

The key to investing out of state is finding a good property manager.  

i wouldn't cash out your 401K, it's not worth the penalties.the only thing I can say is to keep looking and don't buy just to buy.

If you expect to get every penny out of every deal you are going to be disappointed.

Those people are out there, you just need to find them.

This was my first home purchase, out of state.

@Albert Gallucci as many have pointed out, in the commercial space of 100+ apartment buildings and offices, property classes have some pretty decent industry standards.We started applying these to 1-4 unit properties around 10 years ago, which you can verify on our blogs, because we saw too many newbie investors not properly taking into account things like, neighborhood status, tenant pool, property condition, etc.Unfortunately, there's no industry standard for this, but you can use some basic logic to think your way through your own Classifications.

For financing, I recommend you reach out to @Andrew Postell

How would you suggest going about finding a deal and managing it out of state.

Going through my real estate journey I have learned a lot, I am 24, a veteran and a graduate from Temple University,I started with aspirations of investing on a property and making a quick flip.My problem lied with fear of failing, my capital and my savings.I decided I wanted to learn the real estate market and know the ins and outs before I would make a bold choice on buying my first real estate home.
