I am ready to take on my first fix and flip and have seen a few properties with a realtor I really like.

If they are not okay with that, either find someone who is or hire a runner that can take care of emergencies.  

Pick Cash-Flowing Properties: Your IRA receives all rental income, tax-free!

Be careful with that BRRR stuff.I personally would not do Remote BRRR as there is just a lot of risk with 1) risk of embezzlement with contractors 2) change orders and 3) bank doing bait and switch doing a lower appraisal and/or LTV on the refinance.Most service providers net worth is under 500-1M net worth and I just did not feel comfortable working with them because they would screw me over when I wire over 30-50k checks to do work.

I have the ring camera with solar panels and a ring hardwired floodlight camera.I have ring cameras at 3 different properties in 2 different states. 

Once that has been done I'd like to purchase a property walking distance from myself so I can keep an eye on the property and because I don't have a car.

I’ve found a distressed property while driving & I want to contact the owner but they are not living in the property.

Are you thinking more turnkey properties or fixer uppers?

You just can't use it as a rental property and have an owner-occupied loan.

In the second paragraph where it says "I will also pay cash" be careful with that statement.
