Once you've used it for investment long enough to have established your intent of investment you can move into it converting it from investment to your primary residence. 

@Chris Yung The first thing I recommend is establishing a clear objective before choosing a market.

You have the time to spend a few years making money and learning all you can from an established real estate company.

We would like to work with an attorney and tax specialist who focus on out of state real estate investing so we can setup our corporations correctly, establish the correct partnership structure, and ensure we minimize our tax exposure from the onset.Thanks again!

You need to establish a relationship first and show that you are an expert in the space.

In general, it all comes down to having the established relationships with the right folks in the geo area you're looking for such facilities: business owners associations, brokers, insurance agents, attorneys and etc.

you may want to establish a relationship with a few agents who have MLS access, be kind with their time and ask for specific list.

It sounds like you have everything in place I would work with your local banks that you say you already have an established relationship with.

I would love to meet some local members and maybe establish a mentor/mentee relationship were we could bounce ideas off each other and gain further knowledge.

What I'm getting at is that it's not wise to monkey around in a team's well-established internal dynamic.But hey, I haven't done a podcast.
