My main focus on Florida stems from an established working relationship with a property management company there.

If the agent is their own broker and a sole practitioner then you need someone else to decipher the agency relationships that may or may not exist.

.✅ Building strong relationships and partnerships.✅ Exploring creative ways to get deals done, even without a ton of upfront capital.I know that success in real estate is a team sport.

It’s such a big leap of trust, and unfortunately, there are agents who don’t always live up to what you need in this process.An out-of-state investment can be daunting, and it’s so important to have someone in your corner who truly understands your financial goals and is committed to building a relationship beyond just getting to the closing table.

I dealt with evictions, unexpected repairs, and the ups and downs of tenant relationships—but I also made huge strides in improving the property’s value and financial performance.

This will let you build some relationships and know who is who.

The results are people who don’t know that their stock picks can go down as well as up; who think that the ‘stock market” guarantees a 15% annual yield; who don’t have any concept of risk, or it’s relationship with return; and who believe that the intrinsic value of an investment is somehow directly related to its last 12 month pricing movement.  

It not only solved the GMB issue but also helped build relationships in the local market. 

However, building a relationship on a lack of disclosure or a lie isn't probably the best idea, let alone the ethics of the matter.Hope this helps.

Reaching out to multiple brokers in the area and building relationships with them will probably be the most important piece.
