I recently did exactly what you described about 11 months ago on my own personal unit and it was simply a matter of delegating the right tasks  to the right people.

Is it possible to advance in some tasks from the distance during the buying process?

I'm looking to BRRRR in the area, but for obvious reasons like working a busy day job and not living in Kansas City I'm finding it a colossal task to hunt for good deals to buy and try to rehab on my own.I'm not entirely sure what my next step should be, but I'm assuming it's to partner with someone with experience.

Armed with the right knowledge and understanding, high cost markets become gold mines for the investor savvy individuals - this is anyone and everyone who is willing to put themselves out there to learn and network - thereby mitigating the mental and emotional aspects these unique markets tend to bring out in otherwise uninformed investors.

I think that would be the case if you had a unique property where there weren’t many comps to give solid data.  

My cleaner as the dual function now is 30min away, I’m thinking to find someone closer to fix minor things quickly, like lock issues.Please let me know how you find yours and how much you pay, each task or monthly fee.Thanks,Yan

I've seen investors that have only targeted 100 properties through driving for dollars close a deal, but their mail piece was very unique and the houses they were targeting clearly had distress.

The hardest/longest task is typically leasing. 

I've lived in and visited a bunch of places, but western PA has some unique physical and historical features that lead to the SFR characteristics you describe.The chief one is that there is a disproportionate number of 1890-1929 SFR builds of exceptional, lasting quality out here. 

Hello all,I'm a new international flipping investor in Orlando, Fl and i got a house that need permits to rehab, so i'm looking to contratos that can help me with this task, if anyone can help me find this professional i will be glad.Thanks all for the attention.Best Regards Renan
