Will be doing the same thing myself with land on the team I joined at Keller Williams. 

Like you guys, our team has little time to waste!

you have the proper team, go for it you can do this. best of luck and if have any questions let me know.

Since you'll be investing out of state, establishing a good team will be crucial.

Quote from @Sri Reddy: I am a newbie to real estate investing and looking for guidance from the teams here to understand the sources from where we can find any small retail spaces to buy.

Build a strong team, prioritize cash flow, and take the time to understand the local market and regulations, especially for development projects.

I work with a lot of other real estate related businesses and closing teams that refer business to us. 

I know it seems like a tough task, but can you spend a few more months or a year while you continue to learn to really tighten the budget or find ways to earn a little extra to start from a stronger position?

If you choose to purchase from a turnkey provider or build your own team, don't be swayed into cheaper areas.  

Jon Wolfe, the founder, is a friend of mine so let me put you in touch with him and his tech team will help you get it sorted out.
