First investment property in Port Charlotte, FL

Hello all, 

I am trying to buy my first investment property in Port Charlotte, FL, however, I live in Tampa, FL, which is like 2 hours away. I am working with an agent right now. however, I am asking here for recommendations for real estate agents, lenders, property management companies.  I would like to build the team correctly since I am investing "out of town" 

Any recommendations and ideas? I am a new investor so it is important for me to build the team with the right people. 

Thanks to everyone.

Regards, 

Issay

    Stay in Tampa, long distance ownership and landlording just doesn't work well. And there's TONS of opportunities in Tampa. 
    However, Port Charlotte is a really nice area.

    once you made up your mind of long distance landlording, i would make a list of all the big brokerages in town, get a appointment all on the same day and meet with each one of them, 

    feel them out, what they sell, what they do, what they are like, what they can get for you....

    in 2 days i can meet with all brokers in a small to mid size town...and walk away with good enough notes of what and where and whos good...

    @Issay Gonzalez I have a property in Port Charlotte that I am in the process of renovating and will be selling in the near future. I am also a licensed lender and would love to be part of your team.

    Hello Guys, 

    Besides calling places for rent around the area. 

    what other techniques or website can i use to come up with a fair number to rent a property? Especially because I am investing long distance. 

    Regards,

    Hey Isaay (Nice name!),

    I hv found some success in comparing rent prices in some of the basic sites such as rent.com; apartments.com also gives u an idea b/c they hv also have private and public rental info with amenities. 
    Also, your realtor shld be able to assist with pricing out rentals in the area via MLS.
