Investing local or long distance?

[Matthew Couto]

Good evening all!

I started my real estate investing journey only investing locally, let’s say within 30 mins.

Lately I’ve been considering purchasing in another state (southern). Why? Because I’m in the North East and not finding something with much add on potential.

Obviously a bit nervous about it, won’t be able to drive down the road and check up on the PM.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on out of state investing?

Do you have any advice?

Maybe even a good place to start looking?

Thanks in advance!
