Start by building a solid team, analyzing deals carefully, and making your first purchase to test and refine your strategy.Good luck!

I recently worked on an off-market deal here that turned into a great BRRRR success, proving how the right team and strategy can create equity and cash flow, even from a distance.If you ever need help analyzing deals or navigating the OKC market, I’d love to connect and assist however I can.

Also, I'm looking to form a power team in each of the states mentioned.

Do you have a team of contractors yet to help you with these properties? 

I've had smooth loans close with Kiavi and I've had rough ones, same with Roc.When Loans start to be troublesome:1) The borrowing entity docs are a mess2) The appraisal numbers are lower than expected3) Messy background reports4) Loans happening in an environment where market/rate fluctuating unpredictably 5) Your loan officer and their team are poor at their job6) Title issues that depend on county docs, that can be slow and painfulThere's more but it's Friday and I'm tired....

Which market do you have experience in and how is your experience working remotely with your real estate team in the area?  

If you have the right team you can get it done.

A solid property management team (or maybe multiple PMs if your portfolio is large enough) is a must for out of state investing.

I was to start assembling a team together and am looking for any recommendations of contractors that will offer a little bit more hand-holding, as I am still fairly new to this process. 

Instead of putting your whole venture at risk through a single partner, I suggest you build a team of employees and develop solid succession planning.
