Straight to the point:  who do you feel is the most important team member to first establish a relationship with in an out of state investing venture? 

I've opened up a property management company to manage the properties that I own (with my team of investors).

I assume cosmetic rehab - nothing serious.And no, I seem to be unlucky about my team for now.

Here's another Flip, we teamed up with Liz Kazeva and PGH Property Buyer with this one on the North Side of Pittsburgh.

Nail down what you are planning to do and THEN go talk to a bank about whether they will support your strategy.

You also may get tripped up by other things like proper support in the structure, ratio of windows to the buildings envelope (I'm not as familiar about this but have heard stories), etc.For some properties this added cost and hassle may be worth the investment to change the use from residential to hotel.

The park should make money but we just have different opinions on whether or not it's a solid investment for our team and the future.

It’s my very first purchase ever and i could risk losing both opportunities, so I guess I am looking for moral support from the community.

If you have a strong team on the ground, sure go for it. , Its all about your team , all the best , 

The new PM I hired has an in-house team for turn-overs.
