Network with as many folks as you can.

There are a number of competent tax professionals commenting on the forums here who work with clients in other states.

The agent’s company is quite big and she is professional, but seems to be very busy, not proactive enough for me.

I think that we need to hold two groups accountable: - The Syndicators- The LPs who invest with themSyndicators should aspire to ever greater professionalism, legal, diligence, and compliance bars. 

We start each meeting with a guest speaker and then there is always time for networking after.

There could by 50+ questions (w/ background item etc) that do not need asking of the professional grade GP as they have already provided the due-diligence material for the LP perusal up front.

As time has gone by, competition has gotten stiffer, the quality of the listings has gotten much higher, hosts have become more professional.

They are all relationships I grow over time and through networking. 

BP is also a great place to connect with local professionals and build your team!

I have spent almost all my career in my professional life and it seem there's always more to achieve, kinda hard to let go and stop.
