I would market yourself as someone who wants to help out of state investors build a team that they can trust. 

I have hard cash to contribute to a partnership and I am a highly skilled union painter/taper so I can contribute those skills to the rehab team. 

No, “I didn’t have an envelope” or “it must have gotten lost in the mail” excuses.

After some back and forth with the seller's agent, the seller how signed and returned the LOI to me.We're now working on submitting the PSA & scheduling an inspection, but my team will be out of the country for 10 days.My question is: I am running any risk of seeing the seller move on and find another buyer because we're "slow"?

Hello all,My team and I have been out to snag foreclosures at our local auction here in Southern TX for about a year 1/2 now.

As the buyer you decide what you want to pay and hope you have a agent that 1- will offer it and 2- will do a good job negotiating it.Bottom line is, assuming your agent is fully engaged and on your team, you make all the decisions.

She follows up, she has fantastic communication skills (always available), she has a thorough knowledge of the local market, she has a great team in place to help her, and it's obvious she has a passion for what she does.  

So, that's where I feel if I could put together a good team that will oversee and manage the project first hand, then it would reduce the anxiety of the unknown. 

I thought HM .. well even with no sports teams Charleston is booming.. but its mainly inner city and newer construction..North Charleston that is were the airport is.. is transforming and I would see that being an area the article is talking about.. one downtown strip in N Charleston just since I started investing there has gone form board up to about 10 restaurants  a few brew pubs and brought inner city out to what was an area the locals thought of as a poor area.. 

What you do need is a local team and that starts with a local buyers agent.
