Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

I've used Transferwise to transfer money to my family and it went pretty smoothly. 

I have used several and have landed on Followup Boss because of the smooth user interface and powerful functionality, especially when paired with some other systems -- like Zillow paid leads, Curaytor, etc.

I'm looking across several markets (Jacksonville is one) and looking for multifamily properties.Cheers to closing smoothly, Andrew

The process at least from our end was very similar to a normal deal and everything went smoothly.

I know the first time is going to be painful but I am keeping my hopes up that after the 2nd property this should go more smoothly but it looks good to me, but I would like some opinions, would this be considered a deal for you?

But everything went smoothly.

Once, we realized that an investor friendly Realtor would help us in choosing a better property, things moved along more smoothly.

And a contractor who has a good reputation will be able to navigate more smoothly.
