We are not affiliated with a broker so we do not sell product.

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!

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

Land has a smaller cost of entry to get into, and if you could buy a piece of land from someonefor $100 and turnaround and sell it for $500, you could build your seed money to move on to bigger RE projects.https://www.landinvestors.com/forums/BTW, I have no affiliation with Landvestors or Landacademy. 

The questions I asked were legitimate - don't get angry just because you're an affiliate and my questions are valid, and go derail someone else's thread - not mine.
