Bigger Pockets is a great place to learn and connect with fellow investors.If you’re looking to invest long distance, I definitely recommend building your core-4 team.

I’m part of the Rob Lawrence Team, an investor-focused real estate team based in South Eastern PA.

Being out of state, I would suggest vetting your "team", meaning find an investor realtor, lender/s (hard $ / long term), property manager, contractors, etc.

I work with a lot of other real estate related businesses and closing teams that refer business to us. 

One of the biggest factors in successful flips is building a strong team: contractors, agents, lenders, and property managers. 

If you are an out of state investor the team you pick is more important than the market you pick.  

Right now, you may be looking at it as scalable, but assembling a team without a track record is hard because some may end up being leeches.

Quote from @Sri Reddy: I am a newbie to real estate investing and looking for guidance from the teams here to understand the sources from where we can find any small retail spaces to buy.

What prices of my team can be local to me and which would need to be there?

You can talk to him / his team in the monthly meeting but they're on an agenda so don't expect to much one-on-one type support there.
