I'd recommend coming to some networking events in the area.

Quote from @Arron Paulino: I had to remove four of my out-of-state properties in order to refresh the listings and start anew.

Quote from @Adam Macias: Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it.The more people try wholesaling but then end up not having an end buyer or cancelling contracts or trying weird things like novations, the more all of real estate will be regulated and cause requirements like licensing to be able to transact more than just your personal resident purchase.Which I don't know why hasn't happened sooner.Here's all the states (in red or yellow) requiring a license to wholesale or at least have started the process:Credit: REITipsterI think licensing and regulation is a beautiful thing that should happen if you plan to be an wholesaler and do more than one deal... which is going to be the case for anyone taking this business seriously.Or even it being regulated to need a real estate agent to do more than one deal outside of buying a personal residence.I've had plenty of failed attempts with agents in pursuit of wholesale deals and I know exactly why, it's not because the agent couldn't find me deals, it's just not practical to think there's opportunity for the numbers a wholesaler needs to make a profit on top of everyone else needing to these days.Because the only sellers who truly can sell at a deep enough discount are usually those who ran out of time and just didn't do something sooner with their situation.I know many coaches and gurus will disagree with me but there’s no regulations on youtube gurus and what they teach either.If we look at the current state of the market in hot cities, the availability of online resources to the average homeowner, how many deals can you possibly believe are available at 70% of ARV?

That said, I doubt you’ll find a group specifically focused on out-of-state investing.I’m based in California (Central Coast) and invest in Detroit.

I definitely agree that it's so easy to fall in the trap of paralysis analysis and reading books and listening to podcasts.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.

I suspect that is because of Hail damage ???

@Sharon Porter,Investing in a state-controlled property like this can be an opportunity, but it's critical to understand the legal and logistical nuances.

We are both out of state investors.

Interesting idea, but I suspect that would create more problems than it is worth.Most of the leverage you have with a NNN lease is that you are working with a company, presumably one that makes money.
