Investing out of state is a WHOLE other animal, and you want to be confident in your skills before you tackle that project. 

We still have the money for the fix and flip but my husband and myself don’t feel confident with partner managing that and so our partner decided reluctantly to let me lead the fix and flip project.

@Steve H.You should use agents even some in the same area I’m by no means scared of someone looking even if it’s not me, because I’m confident I can find something !

Waiving the home inspection is a risky move, but if you're confident in the property's condition after you walk through, it will make your offer a LOT stronger. 

Doing this deal gave me so much confidence that I can do it.   

You can't have it both ways, but you can educate and prepare yourself so that you can act quickly and confidently when you find the right deal for you. 

As long as you are confident in your credit/experience history, you should be able to move forward on securing a deal and then reaching out to your lender. 

I have gained confidence by reading, listening to BP podcasts, and analyzing deals.   

If you are confident in what you’ve learned and you have the financial wherewithal to take a hit if things wrong then it’s time to follow your instincts and get your first deal under your belt.

I just have to stay confident and get more creative.
