So much going on right now before we move to Arlington, but once we get settled, we'll hit the ground running.I acquired my half duplex via a local agent and MLS.  

I left my hanger in Aurora Oregon at 8 am.. was in Tillamook at 8:30  ( its a 2 hour drive) 45 minutes on the ground looked at loan  and passed... 40 minute flight to Hood river looked at loan and made the loan  Tillamook to Hood River 3.5 hour drive.. it now about 11am.. 1 hour hood River to East Wenatchee  ( hood River to Wenatchee 3 plus hours drive) passed on loan... 30 mintues Wenatchee to Omak made the loan about 2 hour drive.

Once you have a development and construction budget, I would be happy to provide some financing options for the ground up construction.

Nothing major IMO,The biggest foundation issues are in basements and under the ground level.Visible displacement there is a NO DEAL lolThanks

I’m not even in the phase of direct mailing where I expected to see results.

Any of these markets you will do very well if you put yourself in contact with the right people, build the right team, and be boots on the ground. 

I have some limited access to cash, but in the "analysis paralysis" phase and hoping to get over the hump soon. 

Korea and let us know how that goes.....I'd rather accept the ground rules here myself. :)

I have helped a lot of out of state clients, I also owned property in other states:I think the most important is;1. market knowledge (pick a market)2. have trusted on the ground person/ Realtor/or yourself3. knowledgable and resourceful lawyer/accountant/insurance/contractor/property manager etc4. handyman (I m still looking for one)hope that helps

He will also be your feet on the ground, or he will be the person closest to the investment and probably will be doing more of the monitoring of the Property and the Property Managment then you will be doing.Good luck and keep us posted on how and where you find this partner and what kind of property you locate.
