rehab. adding 3/4 bath Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@Eddie GonnellaIt’ll get easier the more you do, provided you find professional contractors that you can trust.  

Be sure to check out the professional investors guild that meets once per month, lots of wholesalers in that group that are open about what they do and happy to talk with you about it. 

You are right.Thank you for your advice.Bad tenant is one of professional scammer.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I have a lot of same industry professionals I thought about emailing. 

If I go though with it, I will be seeking professional tax advice beforehand, but just wanted to get a feel for what others with experience in this have to say.  

This should not be a problem, a professional property management will take single  properties. 

If you're a working professional and haven't seen the ugly side of greed , traps, lying, betrayal etc. in the business world, Think twice before you jump in.There's just too much risk investing out of state.

I have marketing information that demonstrates I'm a professional.
