My wife is a RE Agent and a new build in a different part of town in Dell Valle development (master planned community) has caught our eye.

First thing first is identify you niche.Buy and hold?

Concepts I think I understand are :If the transactions are not of equal value you, you pay capital gains on unused profit. 45 days to identify deal of equal value / 180 days to purchase them. 

If so, any tips on identifying a good property management company, particularly for remote property owners?

Of course that means tons of offers that wont be accepted, and will require more patience than a "regular" realtor.To add value to your offerings i might suggest knowing your market as well as possible,Understand what it really costs to rehab stuff, and what arv's should be along with what stuff will rent for.Once you are comfortable with identifying a decent "deal" you will stand far above the rest and add tremendous value to your network of investors by saving them tons of time in finding worthy prospects.On the deal breaker question, please don't b.s. me!

Very Interesting, thanks for sharing @Mike Dymski1) I would identify the Laurens road corridor with Parkins Mill, Gower & now Nicholtown, as a great example of an established Surban™ area here in Greenville, SC.

We've identified a 3 bed, 2 bath sfh (w/pool) in Cape Coral that we're interested in. 

Luckily, my amazing wife is completely on board with this and we've put a plan together to save as much as possible in the upcoming months to hopefully be able to close on our first investment property by the fall (if not sooner).While we are saving I would love to start connecting with people to develop my team, and I'm hoping you guys can help.  

Somebody wanted to buy the property and develop it and had his attorney do a preliminary title search. 

I had identified a lot whose backyard overlook a lake but the builder just informed me that the area across the lake would have a road and then some commercial properties.
