Where to start on investing in out-of-state properties

[Kyle Wynn]

Hey y'all! 

Just starting to wet my brain on out-of-state property investments after listening to a friend who has been doing well with his properties after jumping about a year ago. 

So I have multiple questions I'd like to ask you all.

 Where should I begin? How can I get in without putting up a ton of money? Anything I should focus on first? How do you go about getting the research you need to determine where you buy a property? How do you know if you have a good team managing your properties and have your best interest at heart?

I'm looking for something small to start out with to get a feel on how the whole process works and what it's like having a property out-of-state to manage. Once I get a good grasp on what I'm doing I would like to eventually grow just like all of you. 

Also, sorry for all the questions. If I don't get some guidance then I'll just be jumping around not knowing what I should be learning and reading about. 

Any input is appreciated! Thank you!
