Feeling Unmotivated and Lost

[Sino U.]

Honestly, I thought I would go ahead and start with Columbus market and based on some of the data that I have seen it made sense. Now I am just not sure. I guess for few reasons;

1) fear of out of state investing - yes I have read all the posts about how some oos investors made it, podcasts sharing their stories and etc. My issue is finding it hard to believe someone's be it realtor or PM word oh how they can help and etc. 
2) Realtors - I mean based on my few interactions, they all seem to be enthusiastic and stuff but when you jump on call it's like YES and NO answers and pretty much. 

For those who started with out of state investing I would love to hear some of your advice that you can give to me. 

Cheers.
