Buying Out-of-State, Judicial Sale in Central PA

[Kyle Winey]

I am attracted to the low housing costs of central PA for long-term rentals. I live 3 hours away in Virginia. 

To give me even bigger bang for my buck, I'm interested in a judicial sale. Several houses previously sold at 1x annual rental income at these judicial sales. 

Seems like a goldmine. 

What am I missing? 

PS. @David Krulac seems to be the expert on this. Is that the case?
