Long-Distance Multifamily Investors - Choosing an area

[Priya Y.]

Hello All,

We live in CA and are looking to invest for the first time in Multifamily. We have invested in Single-Family long-distance. For folks that have invested remotely in multifamily - 

1. How did you go about creating a great team (realtor, lender, PM, and contractor)? 

2. How did you choose an area to invest in?

3. How many units did you start with? 

4. What worked for you and what are some learning?

Look forward to hearing from y'all. Thanks in advance!
