Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay Hinrichs100% agreeWhat we did was had a third-party company perform a track record verification report.

Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing substantial amounts of money into our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon.

I've only heard this recently in a book I read, and by a closing agent from a title company.

I currently work for a luxury building materials company and my commute is about an hour and a half each way every day.

How do go about making contacts at insurance companies or corporate relocation agencies?  

Unfortunately, there is no right answer.....It depends on the specific property, it's condition and what you're planning to do with it.For example, on a distressed property that you're going to flip, if it's listed for $250k, I have offered $150kOn a prospective primary residence that is a custom home, if you offer $650k on a $750k list price, the seller will probably just reject your offer and not even counter.

if you're looking at 1-4 unit properties, don't kill yourself trying to create an LLC just yet. find your lender first then see if they'll require you to close in an LLC or not. single-member LLCs do not provide as much legal protection as we would like to think, so if that's your reasoning for wanting to create one right off the bat, that's just something to consider. as far as a business license, AFTER you close on the property, call the town hall and ask if they want you to have one there bc you're collecting rent there. if you're using a PM company, they will probably say no. :)

Look for a location that has attractions beyond skiing, such as hiking, biking, or water sports.Rental management: You'll need to decide whether you want to manage the rental yourself or hire a property management company.

You pay a flat rate (but there are often add-ons), you create the listing/wording and take great pictures, you send it to the company, they put it on MLS. 

@Shivani KumarLet’s say they have to get a pest control company to do something and it’s a third party company - they will charge 5% which is very common as they have management to bill and coordinate that activityMany places I see this 10-15%I would make sure to check indemnifications clause with an attorney
