Hey Demetrio, I would love to hear more on why you have chosen Canton to invest in remotely? 

The type of rental you’re interested in can help determine where to look.Research the competition, and determine whether the property you’ve chosen is in a prime spot for its purpose.

However, be sure to research your chosen market and build a reliable team.

I am a firm believer in education, but if you are in a room full of people trying to be "One of the chosen few" I would reconsider.

Patrick,First off conducting due diligence is key before hiring that person or company;Hiring a property manager is an important decision, and can be an asset for a property investor, but can also be a detriment if not chosen carefully and without some due diligence.

I live in the southeast and have chosen the single family route.

You should also ask each agent about their plan for marketing and selling your property.Once you have chosen a real estate agent, be sure to get everything in writing.

Wish I could have chosen two. 

I have chosen to invest in the US because I live in Toronto which is a notoriously unaffordable area with an atrocious cap rate and the rest of Canada doesn't fare particularly well either.

Do your research and ensure you are confident in your chosen market.
