I'll be doing the marketing and he will be the boots on the ground.   

Looking to get some boots on the ground in Scranton soon.

Location doesn't matter as long as I have a good team in place, boots on the ground and I can yield returns to pay 6% - 8% preferred returns to my investors with a double in possibly 5 years. 

You have got to have boots on the ground working for you that you trust. 

You can combat this by generally explaining the syndication process, you work with private investors, etc. 

You can easily pay tens of thousands of dollars for coaching programs, seminars, boot camps, workshops, CD's, online courses, and on and on.

Mayda Searfoss Since you are investing out of state, I would recommend connecting with investors in that area through BiggerPockets to potentially partner with, talk to an attorney about laws specific to that area, and like the other person said...form a good relationship with a PM because if you don't have a partner is the local area then the PM will be your boots on the ground.

If Chicago is anything like NYC, the laws lean more on the tenants' side in order to combat the growing homelessness prevalent in big cities.

I am starting to feel more comfortable investing long distance if and when I find boots locally.

Come Monday you're stuck again and your million questions just got babies.Having gone through many boot camps, courses, events, meetings, bad and great coaches, mentors and "gurus" in the past decade or so, I found that "you get what you pay for" is still a truism.
