I love what I do in my day (and often night) job, but I also still love the fun, freedom, challenge, and excitement that comes with real estate. 

One of the challenges I am facing is finding a good property manager in those small towns.

Sounds like this might be a little more challenging than other areas.  

Lastly I've tried engaging multiple Attorneys to try and help me figure out here what is going on.

I feel confident in most aspects of deal-analysis, except for understanding repair costs, especially when looking at online pictures from afar, so this is the area I'm feeling a bit stuck before truly engaging in any kind of offer-making.Thank you to any experienced long-distance BRRRR investors that are willing to share some wisdom with a newbie like myself!

Otherwise, you're actually taking the path of most resistance and making this process significantly more challenging than it would be.

A friend of mine recommended this site after we had a discussion about how ripe the local market is and I've been hooked on the podcasts in recent weeks and am soon to be equally engaged on the forums, as well as, reading the blog posts. 

I    am trying to network as much as I    can, but I    am finding this to be much more challenging than I     expected.

If I have a deal (representing the buyer or seller) where I think the appraisal will be a challenge, I go and try to make my case. 

I know I can go refinance but do have the credit challenge. an I request the contract be voided for not disclosing the roof situation?
