I'm glad to hear that they aren't combative, just slow. 

Investing out of state isn't much harder, you just need to know the remote market well and/or have someone with boots on the ground that you really trust.

If you are going to "Flip" do you have "boots on the ground" here.  

@Larry T. as a first flip to not lose On top of all the rookie mistakes I was making was a success, I call this boot camp lol.

Make sure you have a good set of boots on the ground that can handle all sorts of things if you are going to be over an hour away.

Need to find boots on ground first.

The big question is how do you pick the market and that's what alot of investors are struggling with and here are few things i would like to discuss with you good people.Price point - say i have 250k for down payment and i want to start with a million dollar or so multi family with a price of about 25k a Door, i can obviously get rid of larger markets such as NYC, Chicago, Miami, pretty much most of the metros in the countryDo you start building relations and invest in market where you feel you have strong 'Boots in the ground'Do you invest in area where you are most likely to visit for other purposes such as family, other businesses etc?

If you're interested, I would love to be your boots on the ground in Austin.  

If you ever need to give a tenant the boot or need any other type of legal assistance, I'd be happy to buy you a cup of coffee to discuss.

@Bruce Scannell I'm looking to build a team from out of state where I can have boots on the ground that can analyze the properties I am interested in and give me honest feedback so I don't have to fly there everytime I see a property I'm interested in.
