A good property manager can handle tenant issues and reduce your hands-on involvement.Building a Network: While you don’t currently have local connections, networking with other investors, attending real estate meetups, or joining online communities can provide valuable insights and opportunities.The next steps depend on your financing options, preferred markets, and whether you’re willing to manage tenants directly or prefer to stay hands-off.

All of our trainings are open to anyone who wants to come, because we are confident that anyone who attends will ask "Why isn't my brokerage doing this?" 

I attended nearly every in-person Chicago real estate meetup for about two years straight!

Considering attending some local real estate meet ups so you can make some connections.

BP has a lot of useful resources to help you, I have found the most useful thing for me to do was to actually attend a physical meetup or two as it lets you brush shoulders with others in the same shoes (or have been in the same shoes in the past). 

If you're attending BPCON, I wanted to let you know that the day after the conference, on October 9th, I will be joining my daughter, Krista, and her company, Gateway Investors, for a property tour in Tulum.

The meetups have been super helpful for those of us who attend regularly. 

Research property management companies and attend local events to expand your network.
