I personally recommend looking into out of state investing in a market like Columbus OH for cash flowing deals that hit the 1% rule and have lots of appreciation due to the great macroeconomics - population growth, job growth, and major companies developing here (Meta, Intel, Amazon, Google, etc.).

It might be a good idea to bring your contractor with you to look at the property and get a quote to fix it to your standards so you know what you are dealing with before you buy it.

So, why would you want to enter such a deal as a seller?

I used it to purchase an off market deal and am about to refinance to pay it off and pull out equity (550K total). 

I am based out of Los Angeles and I’m working on a long distance BRRRR deal in the hilltop area of Columbus, OH.

You focus on finding deals and let your team do the work in their specialties.For flippers I think your #1 job and #1 relentless focus should be finding deals   

Ask the manager to explain their process for dealing with maintenance, late rent, evictions, turnover, etc.

Had a pretty good experience in their "Challenge" ($7K) program that deals only with single-family investing.However, later that year, we upgraded (in theory, and in dues) to their "Preferred" (or "PIG") membership, so that we could invest (passively) in multifamily deals. 

We have never used real estate attorney for dirty work regarding foreclosures or pre-foreclosures, other than to close the deal and/or deal with any issues that may come up in a contract. 

Some previous deals I shared came out to be complete duds!
