It sounds like you are doing great setting the groundwork for yourself.

Eventually you will have buyers who you e built a relationship with, and trust to go on their own — until then it may be a wise move to partner with a young agent or somebody interested in real estate who is local, and give them some % of your deal to do the boots on the ground work!

This will be my first rental and will definitely set the groundwork for another.

I was able to put $0 into this deal by doing most of the ground work to get the deal done ( raise money, find partners, etc) Lessons learned?

You lay the ground work and continue working the relationship for a long time, until it finally becomes fruitful.

I have been doing most of the groundwork on working out what the fair market value of my property would be in this current market.

My 203k loan failed 1 week before closing, in my opinion because the lender either didnt know or didn't want to do the extra work, even after I took the time, and did the groundwork required with "approved contractors".

My investors are providing all the capital, and I'm doing all the ground work.

I’m going to get in contact with local realtors in the cities that I’m interested in to do the ground work in my absence, however I’m trying to learn and gain as much knowledge as possible for my own sake.
