Challenges Creating an Out-of-State Network

[Randy Shun]

Hi All,

I'm a new real estate investor who's been trying to aggressively network with out of state parties (realtors, property managers, lendors, etc) for making a potential purchase.

Due to distance, I'm worried out-of-state investors aren't always top of mind or receive pocket listings compared to local buyers or investors. Additionally, I feel calling my contacts up on the weekly to discuss listings without being able to physically see the properties may exhaust the relationship.

Have any of you faced this challenge, and if so, what techniques did you use to help overcome this?
