Do you guys have some great suggestions on reading material related to out-of-state/city investing.

This is more of a civil injury litigation attorney matter than an RE one.Also agree you don't need an attorney until there is something material on paper to review and respond to that insurance won't handle.  

@Wendy Schultz I have had a hard time finding material and resources specifically on Vaca Rentals any suggestions on that?

My buyers that retain an agent do it happily. 

BP has been a great resource for me when it comes to helpful material on this topic, which is why I'm reaching out to you now.

If you buy a Moen faucet at HomeDepot its feather light and made entirly out of plastic; you can get the exact same Moen at a plumbing supply house made of metal.I am usually over $3 per SF for top quality material.

You need to learn this on your own, get quotes from contractors, and learn material costs.

While not ideal, I’ll agree that it’s very durable and yet, oddly fragile—if you attempt to drill into it, it will shatter, but it’s a great insulator and more fire resistant than other materials.  

I am curious if any flippers out there have been experiencing large delays in their projects due to shortages of building materials?
