Get the scope of work and have a non-affiliated, reputable property manager who deals with out of state investors frequently inspect the property against the scope, & tell you about the location/property (preferably this person is referred by another local investor).These two factors have helped me pass on many out of state deals, and now that I've got some of my own rental portfolio that I'm selling, I'm able to find buyers because the properties check out from a due diligence standpoint.Good luck!

@Dave DeMarinis  you better mention that we're not affiliated before that post gets flagged because that's a PLUG, lol! 

I have used Frank Soprano- no affiliation to Tony Soprano.

I am no way affiliated with this company but try this web page for the forms your looking for: https://journal.firsttuesday.u...Good luck...

While some of the turnkey providers I've talked to seem reputable, I still have concerns - the primary one being that it's been rather difficult to find anyone who has invested through these companies who isn't affiliated with them in one way or the other.

They don't recommend/aren't affiliated with a specific investment.

You just need to be an associate or affiliate (I forget the term) and be associated with one broker.

If you purchase a condo that is affiliated with an HOA will you not be allowed to utilize it as a STR?

I have no affiliation but heard her on a podcast and also got a SDIRA book from her last year which was a great read.
