Look for distressed properties through online platforms or local agents.

I am also open to partnering on a transaction. 

However, I am unsure on how to go about finding the proper handyman/maintenance guy/management team to help run any out-of-state investments I make.

I have done it with some contractors taking Paypal where you can use a credit card on that site with a fee, or QuickBooks is another one too.

The junk removal company started the job but stopped when they noticed bedbugs on mattresses.

And what is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

Just shop around online, look for properties similar to yours, add them to favorites and watch them to see how long it takes for them to rent.

I've bought a ton of homes pre-foreclosure and at auction, happy to be a resource on that stuff, plus we just launched Bid Pirate, which is the one place online for NH, where you can see all the upcoming foreclosure auctions in one spot - you can learn a lot from the regulars at the auctions........ get after it, sister!

Then after that, Fannie will lend on up to 10 for any one investor.
