So what y'all are saying is that I need to roll up my sleeves and get to learn the area.

If you can find one who has done experience under their belt in investing, as well as a few tricks up their sleeve you can learn, latch on to them and don’t let go.Remember: “You’ll learn this business (best) by doing it!”

I did some research using roofstock and I am ready to move into rolling up my sleeves and getting into this adventure.

Before you roll up your sleeves and start swinging that hammer, there's something crucial you need to know: the hidden costs that can quietly sabotage your renovation profits. 

They acquired a distressed property, rolled up their sleeves, and got to work.

With such pitiful income from rents to boot, you better be handy, and handy or not, it gets tough to roll up your sleeves when you are out of state. 

You just need to have a plan to grow the business quickly with management or be prepared to roll your sleeves up and work long hours for a few years.

I think th OPs response to this was also a little aggressive with youthful chip fully displayed on sleeve, however, chewing the meat and spitting out the bones, there's some good actionable advice here.There's an old saying that if a man is hungry and you give him a fish you've fed him for a day.

Once I have a few more tricks up my sleeve and can offer some valuable insight I'd love to do some content like that as well.P.S. couldn't help but notice you're in NH, I grew up in southern NH and my family is still there. 

this is situational real estate at its finest.when I am over in your neck of the woods most the business men are wearing NIce Hawain print shirts and slacks. and you can tell a local as they are not very tan  LOL. its only the tourist and those that work out of doors.When I was in the Timber business... guys would show up in their tree felling attire.. cutoff jeans and corkers ( boots with studs in them so they don't slip off of logs) pants duck taped at the bottom and sleeves duct taped close.. ( this to keep yellow jackets or hornets from flying up your pants or arms and stinging the crap out of you).Our market here in PDX is predominatly business casual.. nice slacks etc.. as others mentioned my bankers they were their daily suits... and its a requirement in that industry.. although you see tellers and what not get to dress down.If I am say invited to present at REIA type event or FIBI event in LA I wear slacks and jacket.
