If you need a solid lender I can pass you some info on the one I’m using. 2nd, you need to find a Realitor who deals with investors from out of state. 3rd, pick what property type you want. 4th, are you going for cash flow or appreciation?

Align them with solid vendors such as property management, if they are wise enough to hire one.Also, owning your own portfolio of properties helps show that you have experience. 

So far everyone who has commented has given solid advice.

Here in Metro Detroit the "ring cities" we have a solid mix of $80-$120k purchase price, 1-1.5% deals or so, $200-$350/door, 10-14% ROI, "Good investment areas".

They may also ask about your experience level or contingent funds, etc.If you know you have a solid personal financial history, then I would go after the off-market in parallel. 

We are all rooting for ya !

If you have an attorney you were working with, they should be able to review the agreement and give you a more solid answer.Hope that helps and good luck!

She is looking to transition and work with a solid property manager.

I have no doubt others may give you solid advice here but I would let the pro's handle this one and you pay attention and learn so you can handle the next if you want.  

I'll stay the course and keep my eyes on the chairs that ARE there, the ones that are ALWAYS there for the DIY handyman investor: hold on to solid properties, find solid tenants, offer solid pricing and solid maintenance.
