So, try some local real estate meetup groups.

Meet a vendor or accept a delivery?

Nice to meet everyone - just signed up to Bigger Pockets.I'm a Halifax-based commercial real estate agent (7 years and 350+ transactions) and investor, looking to connect and network with others in the area.

Also, joining local real estate groups can help you get more homes.Good luck!

If so, I'd love to meet up when you get here.

As stated above brush up on the local city, county and state laws.

For plans that will pay off later, get into house hacking, save money for a first payment, meet people in local real estate groups and find a mentor, and put money into things that earn without much work like stock index funds or ETFs.

I'd always recommend flying out to where you plan to invest to get a feel for the market and to meet your team in person.

I'm working with some local brokers to find off market deals to aid in the time aspect.My wife and I have an 18 month old and another joining us in a couple months.

Now before anyone suggests meeting with a realtor, getting an appraisal or looking at comps of recent sales to get a more accurate figure, I'm fully aware of those options.
