Long distance investing as my first deal

[Connor Campbell]

Hello!

I have been wanting too invest in real-estate for a while now, I live in Washington and its to expensive for me to invest here yet. I used to live in Arizona so I know some of the area. I have $25,000 to put down and another $25,000 for repairs. I would fly down to do most of the repairs myself. Do you think it is a good idea to invest long distance as my first deal? 

Thanks!
