- Agents and title companies I work with always expect EM to be delivered within 24 hrs of opening escrow.

Instead, focus on assembling a few key people who can fill the gaps—such as a trusted agent, contractor, and local property management expert etc.

This time from "Suzy", who tells me she is the agent for a certain Lorrie Morgan, and Lorrie and her family were to be staying at the cabin. 

@Juliann Morala Yep, a buyers agent that works exclusively with investors will have all the info you need and lots of options on contractors, lenders, attorneys, inspectors, property managers.

IF you are going to down that path, focus on building relationships with key investors in town and top performing CRE agents.

That's awesome, congrats on successfully purchasing your first out of state property and finding a great agent!

I'd venture to say that an experienced attorney propbably wouldn't charge much, if anything at all, to set up your LLC if you are working with them on an operating agreement. 

I am an agent that does only investments in the area. 

Agent sales fees, number three, which are normally a percentage of the ARV, are similarly trivial.
