Thinking about buying rental properties out of state? Dustin and Adam share hard-earned lessons from managing 25+ units in Memphis while living hundreds of miles away. This episode reveals why out-of-state real estate investing is rarely as passive as it seems, covering the real challenges of building reliable contractor teams in different markets, dealing with quality control from a distance, and the hidden costs that can wipe out years of cash flow.
The discussion includes practical realities like finding trustworthy contractors, managing emergency repairs remotely, and why some markets make team-building significantly harder than others. Adam and Dustin also explore how scale changes the game – when it makes sense to hire dedicated maintenance staff versus juggling multiple service providers, and why single-property investors face unique challenges.
Whether you’re considering direct property ownership or evaluating passive syndication investments, this episode provides valuable insights into the operational complexities that impact real estate returns.
