Do you have any experience with building or project managing a new build?

We've been managing both types of rentals for the past 5 years.

I plan on using a property management company in order to keep the property in order until I move (eventually I want to bring property managers under my own business entity to focus only on my properties). 

When I buy out of state I want to work with a company that owns the entire process from top to bottom as in they use their own money to purchase the home, renovate it, sell to an investor then manage for them as well on the back end.

In a world where the only constant is change, the realms of real estate, property management, and construction stand as testaments to this truth.

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.Also, I recommend reading “Long-Distance Real Estate Investing: How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties” - I found it to be very helpful when I got started investing 2.5 years ago.

Do you self-manage them all?

I work with a team on the ground that helps source deals, project manages rehab and provides property management.

It offers tools for analyzing both residential and commercial properties, including features such as investment property analysis, interactive property maps, and deal management.REIPro: REIPro is a real estate investment software that offers tools for finding, analyzing, and managing investment properties.
