Everyone be careful! OOS investing is GREAT. But you have to have a team in place. I am born and raised in Columbus,OH. I now live in Los Angeles, but even I was weary of investing/doing rehabs in my own hometown until I had the right team in place. Take the extra time to build trusting relationships with local people where you are investing, it will save you in the long run. Feel free to ask me any questions regarding the Columbus market as well! I am happy to share whatever I know. Good luck all.

I started as a realtor for a year and decided I wanted to focus solely on wholesaling. Even though you have your own schedule as a realtor, brokerages are still expecting you to perform on their behalf. Build your business and keep making offers.

@Joseph Burell That's very good advice. I learned early on that you have to pay to play! Thanks and very best to you. 

I just finished reading the E-Myth a few weeks ago and I am astonished that it took me this long to discover it. This book really changed the way I am approaching my business. I've spent so many years working IN my business and not ON my business and sometimes I feel like it's second nature for me to try to do everything. So I am asking fellow BP'ers with small or large teams this:

How much time do you put into your business(currently) versus the people that you have working in it?

What are things that you have learned while growing your business?

What advice would you tell your younger self now? 

Thanks everyone! I wish everyone happiness and prosperity.  

@Joanne Eriaku I've used listsource for years and they've always done well for me. Melissa data is not too bad either. Hit up @Siobhan Kelly-Roberts,  she can give you better insight and better deals on cost per lead! Good luck! 

@Jeremy Davis I understand your position. @Steve K. hit it spot on. Seller financing will be your best case scenario in this situation and is very possible! It may be worth it to send out some marketing or do some cold calls in your targeted relocation area and speak with a realtor in that area. Tough times don't last, but tough people do! Take care. 

@Robert Ellis Yeah, this one was in 2015. 

@Zeke Liston Thanks Zeke! 

@Robert Ellis it was in Clintonville. It was right before Clintonville started getting really hot. I miss those days lol.

@Taylor Hudgins, I've always heard airBnBs did really well there. I also have a friend who tells me about Norfolk as well. As far as LA is concerned, I am still learning this market. I would imagine that short term rentals are probably OK here, but you just have a lot of cash reserve to handle the expensive vacancy/mortgage rate.
