I am not saying that you should not listen to RE agents , but keep in mind that most of them needs to sell at the end of the dayAnother place to visit is the local REI club, tons of useful information and real insights if the marketLast - educate your self as much as possible regarding tenant - landlords rules and regulations for the specific city, try to learn about city cose violations etc... this way you will not be surprised down the road.I also like to recommend BP book by David Greene "long distance investing" it is very useful resource and should prepare you well for ling distance investing.Last - Good luck !!!

Find some like minded people. 

@Katie Sorensen Thank you very much for your reply, I’ll keep that in mind when he time comes.

We don't mind sharing our network :).

Also, don't mind spending the time and effort.

Lots of great like minded people there.

Moving over from servicing to this side seems like a natural progression in my mind.

I have a good property manager that I found during my visit to the city but always trying to find like minded people.

One thing to keep in mind is how taxes may affect your cash flow it may affect how much you get to keep in your pocket.

Looking to hit the ground running and meet some like minded investors.
