Also, when investing in out of state / out of the area properties , it is important and pretty kuch a necessity that you find a boots on the ground type of person that can look out for your best interests.

Where ever you decide to invest , you might want to consider a boots on the ground type of person .. there are a lot of properties here in Central Fl that would meet your needs but, most need some type of rehab or a bit more maitance to begin with ..

I am working on offering a boots on the ground type of service for out of state investors .. someone that can give a unbiased opinion of any properties that a investor might be interested in ..

Besides having boots on the ground to minimize my risk, I make sure to have the right Property Management system that allows me to log-in remotely and run my own reports.

Just want to take a quick minute and thank BiggerPockets for bringing Pace on here for his Creative Financing Boot Camp!  

By teaming up with a solid firm you can mitigate your risk and have some "boots on the ground" that have your best interest in mind. 

I have partnered with a out of state investor that is involved financially and I am the boot on the ground guy/ project manager.  

I know in Central Florida it has been increasingly hard to find decent profit potential fix and flips which is what I specialize in, I will eventually start to invest in buy and holds but after I flip enough houses where I can do both because I just love doing what I am doing and will always want to flip houses but I do see the importance of having residual income and a ever increasing equity so one day when I put up my work boots I can live comfortably in my old age ..

All that being said I have been looking for a while for someone who might be able to utilize me as a kind of boots on the ground person for their investment properties.

I do all the boot on the ground stuff..
