So overall experience of your QI to work in a number of markets and locations is really the key. 

It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.

I'm looking to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, property managers and contractors who have experience in these areas. :-) 

I’m an ex realtor who also has some experience working for a private equity group for a short time before I got a really good gig in a completely unrelated industry that will allow me to have options when investing.

and i know that that there’s risk involved, so ill always be prepared for things not going according to plan. and i think starting small and gaining knowledge and experience over time is key. 

@Hunter Duplantis what @Gino Barbaro said is exactly what I was going to suggest.When you have vacancy is the time to experiment and apply your original thesis.I’m not trying to play Monday quarterback here but, you should be highly confident in where the rents should be well in advance of having a vacancy.That being said, after confirming competition rents on websites (I’d also recommend Craigslist and Facebook marketplace), you should be in alignment there.  

Now, I'm stepping into the investor role myself and looking to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals.I'm eager to share insights from my lending experience while also gaining knowledge from seasoned investors.

Real estate is definitely a constant learning experience, and adaptability is key.Building connections with buyers in a new market can be a real challenge, especially when trying to understand their specific needs and earning their trust.

Would love to learn from your experiences.4.
