To invest out of state successfully, focus on building a strong local team (agent, PM, contractors), automating deal analysis, and using contingencies to protect yourself.

Quote from @Maurice Nkonsissie: HelloMy name is Maurice, I live in the greater DMV area.

Are you local here in OKC?

If you want real cheap go to the local food bank.  

Don't get me wrong, you can make good money with STR, but having a property already to your name with some experience of being a landlord will only help - and you will already have a property under your belt.Good luck!

Find local real estate investor meetups and attend the meetings.

I haven't gotten serious yet and don't have a local agent, but I have been window shopping and may reach out.Hi @James Bing, yes I manage my own properties by leveraging technology & local relationships to automate the self managing process.

Another alternative would be to buy the property yourself, keep the mortgage in your name but have your daughter on the title.

In my area of NC, our local MLS's are writing rules to prevent wholesalers from being able to list and sell a property they have under contract. 

In my local MLS, they would be listed in the 2-5 unit category.
