Out of State Investing

I'm looking into purchasing out of state and was wondering what others do in their process. Do you hop on a plane for every deal you're looking at? I'm on a 45 day identify time frame and can't possibly do that. What I find is that the listing pictures don't show what is truly there. I have agents in the various cities and they've been kind enough to travel and video but sooner or later they are going to get tired of doing this service. I've been a builder and more specifically in interior remodeling and I am very picky. I'm not interested in being a slum lord but rather want to have a home for our renters. Please don't tell me to get over it....too old.

It sounds like you have a good system. If you're worried about the realtors getting tired of it, then I would pick one market and one realtor so the person doing all of that work is actually going to get paid in the end. If they know you are committed to closing with them, then I think its more likely they will continue to help you look.

If you are interested in speaking with a lender, let me know. I am with The One Brokerage, and we have a strong team behind your closing process.

Cheers, Kate Taylor, LO
