Partnering with a good property management company can help you handle the distance, but be careful with tax’s material participation rules if you expect tax savings.Sticking local is convenient, but branching out might give you better opportunities to meet your financial goals.

I have been in the lending space for a handful of years now and recently had the opportunity to open up my new branch in the great community of Fargo. 

My advise is to start with single family or a small multi-family ground up project first but this market environment is truthfully not the time to be completing any ground up projects unless you are self performing the construction which it doesn't appear you are in a position to do.There was a recent Philadelphia  forum chain started by someone else who was contemplating ground up in a similar fashion to what you are proposing and I cautioned they would be better off buying something that was newly built and believe after conducting their own diligence realized it was too cost prohibitive at this time to build with 3rd party GC's in Philadelphia when also accounting for the interest rate environment and cost to build.

If you don’t have access to title company services, go to Norwalk recorder’s office and “chain” out the ownership and open mortgages.

Hence they already tell to reduce the rate possibly in September.In all fairness to the unpredictability argument, the Fed had data showing massive spikes of inflation in 2021 while also knowing that the US government had injected trillions of dollars of stimulus into the economy during the pandemic but decided to pass it off as "transitory" due to "supply chain shocks" (not wrong, but wildly overblown). 

You are simply not informed to see how this chain works. 

My goal is to branch out and remote-manage a suite of properties as my full-time job. 

Please send the whole chain to your mentor and you will have all of the answers you need.

Nope says the driver with a lock and chain in is hand.

No different than someone trying to daisy chain or work around a wholesale contract and investors here think that is immoral or unethical, but doing it to a agent is just fine.
