Honesty, Follow through, quality and fair pricing

I am an agent so I save some there but I'm willing to pay if someone can bring in a nice quality tenant fast. 

I believe the local REIA will speed up your knowledge.

Looking to purchase a MFH in another state because it's a lot more affordable than Florida's current market.How would you go about researching the quality of life, crime rate and overall safety and feel of a neighborhood when looking to purchase a property in an area you're not familiar with.Of course, before purchasing the property, I'll go and visit but I do not want to waste time (and money) going to a bunch of duds, if there is an easier way to get somewhat of an idea on the area without actually being there.

Be conservative and realistic with your numbers and provide your cash buyers with real quality and I have no doubt you can be successful wherever you decide to start your wholesaling business.

The right turnkey (there are good and bad ones) provide a lot of value in terms of acquisition, rehab quality, tenant quality, management quality, etc. 

I used someone outside the norm and was a bit frustrated with the overall work quality of work and the slowness.

@Lee Nestlerode, definitely run a background check as there is a high degree of variability in the quality of sponsors out there.

Is there anything I can do to help speed this along? 

Using the knowledge I've gained from working with developers to produce the best product possible while still making a profit, my goal is to provide quality design within proximity to world class skiing that is financially available to everyone.
