I will attempt to be at the next BP meetup as I have been pouring through the website, podcasts, and books they have. 

Hi All,I am doing some study in JAX and plan to do buy and hold strategy as a out of state investor.Trying to find local PM and real estate agent who works with out of state investors, would appreciate if anyone can refer. 

The quickest example I can refer you to would be Michael Blank syndicated deal analyzer (SDA).

I know a few builders and depending on what you’ve got in mind, I’d be glad to refer a few.

Originally posted by @Jen Pothilat:I was just informed that I can't do a cash out refi since it's a rental property in Texas :( You can do a cash out refi on a rental in Texas, I have done them.I think they are referring to owner occupied, homestead properties.

I know a lot of realtors like to focus solely on selling and aren't interesting in managing properties themselves.Do realtors refer clients to property managers?

Glad you joined the best real estate investing website!

In the body clearly reference the clause it is modifying and the actual words used should be similiar if not identical as in the original purchase and sales, just with a different closing company.Who is holding the hand money/earnest money?

We most of the time refer them to an agent unless the home is a disaster. 

Someone here should be able to refer a local one.
