I'm a local, CT based investor, flipper, and property management company owner.  

We're also seeking to buy a local (Raleigh / Durham) property management company to expand that business more rapidly.

My top recommendation is to begin by contacting property management companies in each target area.

A reputable title company will keep things on track. 

Our company is built to make it easy for everyday investors to invest in rental properties.

If millenial homeowners can't even change their home's air filters, or snake a toilet, or change the oil in their car, that's guaranteed future business for HVAC companies, plumbers, mechanics, and those places all need a place to conduct business in.The commercial mortgage pricing software I use has somewhere around 50 different asset classes in it.

. - Of course, you may need a Property Management Company to handle each rental when you move again.

I have a local handyman that helped me hired junk removal company and pest control for the roaches.

Plus, with how much appreciation is coming to Columbus Ohio, that house will easily 2x or 3x over the next few years from all the population/job/companies developing here.Plus, Anduril just announced another 4k jobs and over 1B+ in development in Columbus Ohio along with all the companies already developing here (Intel, Google, Amazon, FB, Nationwide Childrens, etc)

Thus, the preREO strategy is to have a court appoint a receiver, which could be a real estate agent or property management company, to repair and rent the property during the foreclosure.
