You can build shutters for ~10 bucks a pop including stain/paint with 1x6 cedar boards and two strips of 1x4 cedar (or whatever quality wood you want).  

I am slowly getting comfortable with pulling the trigger soon but would like to know of quality/trustworthy agents, mortgage brokers, and property managers in the area that I could utilize since I am not physically in the area.

It sounds like you've been steadily building a strong financial foundation and real estate will be your best method of maximizing returns.

@Brian Gibbons, I like the ROFR method, maybe I'll try that if I ever do this again.

From there I may give some quality wholesalers my contact information but I usually watch people closely so not to have people wasting my time with worthless deals.  

Identifying quality investments that meet the criteria for risk vs return, getting people to actually invest in the deal, negotiating the deal, convincing the seller to accept your offer with contingencies, and working through title issues are much, much harder

It would be a great help if someone could give me some tips on how to get revenue, or a creative method so I could put some money down.

What is the best approach to finding high-quality wholesalers in this region?

I've seen people be successful with this method in many areas and Ive had close relationships with people who have done this and done it well.I myself am a House Flipper have been for 12 years now.

Ideally I'd like to buy a rental for every second or third flip using either turnkeys or the BRRR method.
