Out of state investing

[Amit Kumar]

For out of state investors - how did you do it? I'm going to have difficulty travelling out of state to evaluate properties/build a team given my circumstances. Turnkey sounds reasonable but I have seen a few horror stories.

I purchased in Memphis through a turn key company, you can also just call realtors directly in the area you want to invest. It's not hard to get deals out of state somewhere like that, but when you start looking at more competitive markets it gets much more difficult. 

Picking a market is hard, but once you do I'd just call realtors, property managers, brokers, etc and talk to them. Ping people here on Bigger Pockets in those markets and ask them about it. If it was easy everyone would be doing it :)
