I am new and just setting up my team, and he was recommended as a real estate attorney that I could use by someone who has been in the industry for 30+ years.Like I said, I have no experience with the attorney, but was recommended by someone I trust.Hope that helps.Cindy

Have a local and experienced Team to help you to get things done that they are qualified for aand will return your phone calls promptly.  

So if you were looking to work with a realtor that is experienced in investment type deals(like flips) we could always reach out to find you a specialist in your area. 

@Steve Vaughan I don't think the owner is experiencing "hardship" per say, more just inconvenience and a stretched budget. 

Hello,I am looking for a realtor experienced in short sales, foreclosures, and homes in general selling typically between 50k-100k in Columbus, Ohio.

I can also try to answer questions you may have about GC's and the work work do and the value they add to your team.

I am looking for any advice, referrals, and info on how to get started in buying out of state/building a team as I feel that it might be difficult to trust many people as well as secure rental payments from hundreds of miles away (even with a property management company).Also, if I buy an investment property, would I still be able to qualify for an FHA loan for me and my girlfriend for our future house hack?

The only way you're going to success at this is to build a local team in the market you're looking to work in.

From a high-level that process is: - know your goal and reason why - know the terminology - know how to run the #s - know how to find the good market and submarkets - build a brand - find team members - find investors - find deal - do right due diligence on deal -  close and do asset mgmt Investing in someone else's deal will be a little helpful just to see the process but I think the better approach would be to align yourself with the right people to help you work through the process I outlined above. 

Set up some calls and find the ones that are experienced, personable and fit your needs.
