@Lars Hartvig KristiansenCongratulations on closing your first two properties in Michigan and assembling a cohesive team, having interconnected professionals can significantly streamline operations, especially for out-of-state investors.Many investors report positive experiences when replicating similar team structures in new markets by leveraging referrals from established networks, such as online forums or local investor associations, to identify reliable agents who can then connect to property managers, lenders, and other specialists.

I have the single family from buying it as my first home and instead of selling when I moved, I rented it out.

Quote from @Johnathan Cummings: Hello BP, I’m looking at buying a property to flip.

While traditional steakhouse meetings have their charm, we're focused on leveraging digital tools to streamline the process.For those experienced in remote capital raising — what platforms or strategies have you found most effective?

My current buy box is single detached homes with 3 bedrooms, 2+ bathrooms, 2 car garage, and built since year 2000, and managed by professional management. 

It is perfectly fine to have different buy boxes based on different criteria.

I’d love to hear how it went — timelines, bidding process, and any lessons learned.When you buy at a sheriff sale, is the property handed over vacant, or do you have to handle the eviction if it’s still occupied?

As a long-term buy-and-hold investor in the Tulsa, OK market, I can tell you that “tornado country” sounds scarier on paper than it plays out in day-to-day operations.

I do it for a lot less than that, but I’ve streamlined the process.

Bottom line is that unless you bought 15 years ago, or buy something really niche (think 7-10 bedroom houses with heavy theming) you need to be prepared to lose money down here right now.
