I think a lot of people like those on the Forum are entrepenurial thinkers and can design ok on their own, but of course there are some people who cannot design a doghouse and will need you for the whole project, lots of those folks out there..... :-)

There are no restrictions preventing out-of-state investors from purchasing rental properties in Texas—these investors enjoy the same opportunities as Texas residents.Additionally, the financing restrictions you mentioned don’t align with reality.

There are people that do flipping in other states while they live in another state from the projects and they are successful, but they have built a team while doing it. 

This is the fork where I'm not sure if I'd be good to get some CRE exp and invest in learning about how to review deals for the next 2-3 years, or focus on generating revenue for investment purposes and watch how things are done as a LP.My personality more aligns with networking, reaching out to people, connecting, navigating difficult situations and finding solutions that work.

The first thing I want to point out is that it may be wise, in your thinking, to separate the property itself from the STR business that's being run from the property.In the old days (as recent as 10 years ago), people buy a vacation home to enjoy, and they leave it empty when not in use. 

Much easier for people to use and safer overall.It is shocking to me how many folks can't start a fire.

Im generally distrustful of most people/funds in the real estate world.

You are also able to enjoy all of the resources Bigger Pockets offers here.

I’ve been coaching new investors for a while, and I always enjoy hearing about what brings people to real estate.

That's where good people live, and good people make good tenants.But before you put money down on a house, I would find a quality property manager.
