We are happy to have a nationwide family especially at times like these. 4) Training: At least 2x a week, we have access to training specific to current economic climate and market conditions.

@Dave GodfreyMaking sure I have access to capital/reserves in case I need to have 3 to 6 months worth of PITI.

If so what is their direct link so I can either apply for the codes lists or submit a request.Also, would they have access to a High Equity Absentee Owners list?

Not to mention MARTA access and being positioned on the beltline.

The biggest issue for dealing with OOS investing is the technology; make sure you research your boots-on-the-ground company to ensure they have paired with the right technology that will allow for easy communication and quick access to updates on your project, especially if you plan on not being on-site regularly.Make sure the "connections" you make with other GC's or REI professionals, that they are licensed and insured and can provide references for their work.Join local groups on other social media platforms and start discovering the midwest market virtually by hearing what others are saying/recommending and what areas people are investing in and with what REI strategy.Indianapolis is a great market to get into right now because you absolutely can stretch east/west coast dollars further.

Your best bet would be to use a mortgage broker that has access to a portfolio of hundreds of lenders and has an existing relationship with said lenders.

Until you are experienced don't operate w/o an MF agent, they have access to financial property numbers that are more accurate but your typical agent who sells to homebuyers has no need to even know about those schedules and it is an extra download from a different database, and not all offices even pay for that.

However, I know the business, the area, the numbers (both as a STR and as a SFH) and have access to many owners.

You can still flush it under pressure - you just have to make sure to dig out enough access to open & close the drain valve.

@Dalton Wilson I agree... given you have access to the VA loan, definitely think about househacking a duplex or quad for your first deal.
