Yes, it seems that the sheer logistics of trying to find and hire truly skilled qualified workers to staff such growth (especially when their presentation speaks of 3 shifts ) seems a daunting task.....even if the money was there. 

It's location makes in a great spot for transportation & logistics as well. 

The prominent industries in BHAM include: banking, finance, manufacturing, transportation, distribution and logistics, biotechnology, IT, corporate mine & most importantly UAB school of Medicine was ranked 10th in the Nation for Primary Care.

I don't know the the logistics of OOS and frankly that's a little overwhelming for me, but still open to it.

We have a wide variety of professions renting our units - teachers, engineers, retail, mechanics, roofers, fashion designers, retirees, food service, self employed, hospitality, banking, logistics, dockworkers, police officers, utility workers, etc. 

However those generally speak to the logistics and framework of syndicating a deal not the actual real estate investment & operational competent.  

@Zachary SargentZach, if you're asking for a location to get started, I think anywhere within a thirty minute drive of where you're at in Bloomington would be excellent.If you're asking for the logistics it's best that you network with other investors who are closing deals and making business happen.  

I am marketing to absentee owners that live more than 4 hours away from my market. Naturally, I will be talking with sellers on the phone. 
My question: How does the dealflow tend to look like? Do you normally get to...

As Alexander noted in his post, so much if it depends on the property your renovating and the logistics. 

Logistics questions: 1) who do you suggest we add to our “team” to get the search started?
