Great question! We work with a lot of folks oversees and out-of-state to safeguard their real estate investment projects and ensure their funds are being allocated appropriately with contractors – so it can be done!

Pick your market, do your research, find lender(s), then start connecting with professionals in the industry for whichever area you decide.

Being overseas – find a team that is utilizing the right kind of technology for you to be able to remotely track the progress of your investment – you won’t want someone who is new to this industry because you’ll need experienced professionals, when you can’t be there yourself, to be ready to handle the unexpected when it comes to flipping.

Regardless of you waiting or taking the plunge now – there are a lot of pieces you’ll need to line up before you start investing.

Always happy to help if you have further questions; wishing you the best of luck!

Thank you for your service!

Solid advice above!

Bigger Pockets is a great resource if you are just starting out - take advantage of the forums and their blog postings to start familiarizing yourself with terminology. Getting connections within real estate will be a big advantage also - learn the market of whatever area you are wanting to invest in (it might even be out of state) and then start taking a look at lenders. Your financing will be key towards your success and burying yourself before you're even started on renovations will make things difficult.

The best real estate deals move fast - so when you're ready, make sure to have your pieces lined up; you loose money every day you're not taking action to move your project forward.

Wishing you the best of luck as you begin to dip your toes in!! 

@Romain Benjamin Absolutely! Send me a message and I'll shoot a few over when you're ready.

We are very much still active in the Indianapolis market and are rolling out a full-scale platform that allows us to manage projects from start to finish with a fully vetted and proven construction team that we hand-pick for your projects needs. No more having to bring your team to us - we are your team!

We handle renovations, rehabs, and new builds - let us know if we can assist!

We work with a lot of wholesellers and we often buy directly to cut out the contracts and give the investment opportunity directly to our clients. Its important to run the numbers and find properties that will increase ROI, our software does all that work for you - if you'd like to talk more, please feel free to reach out!

Otherwise, there are a lot of opportunities on social media to connect with local wholesellers - we get several leads from there each week! Once you start connecting, you will be added to their e-mail blasts so you get the first advertisement (typically) before you have to research and find it elsewhere.

Good luck!!

Welcome to the industry! I suggest continuing to network and finding the right market/area that will work FOR you. Sometimes, that may be out of state. Finding contacts in the wholesaling, real estate market can be tricky - so take initiative in researching properties and finding resources that will allow you to understand what sellers in the market are looking for (ARV and ROI). Driving for Dollars and then doing the research by preforming skip traces, may allow you to find off-market properties that don't have several folks on the contract already.

Hopefully, that will take some risk out of what opportunities you're willing to put your name on.

Good luck!!

Hi,@Andrew Bowlds
We are a local company purchasing single family homes for flips within central Indianapolis - we would be interested in checking out properties for purchase as we typically try to buy 2-3 a week.

Thank you!

We work extensively with wholesellers in the area, and while it isn't always our favorite thing to do - numbers do not lie. I think it is important to network within that community and work with those (whom you can trust anyway) who may have an assignment and additional details from the seller to sort out the good deals from the bad ones. Fortunately, we have the ability to do scopes before placing an offer to ensure their estimate for repairs is accurate. Knowing what the rehab will take with a single glance takes a lot of skill - finding the right team or colleague to assist might be your best option in upping your chances for more profitable purchases from that side of the marketplace.

Good luck!

There are great opportunities for you to increase your return with out-of-state real estate investments. It is important to find a team that will be your "boots on the ground" and allow you to oversee you project while elsewhere. I agree that a property manager is key - but you may want to look into fixing/flipping properties and working with a real estate investment/renovation expert team that will allow you to grow your investments realistically and be profitable while doing so. There are companies out there that are invested in the local market themselves, few, but they're there! Finding a team you can trust, that can walk you through the real estate side as well as the project management side, based off of their experience and whom also has the technology to keep you up-to-date is key for starting out successfully.


Good luck!
