First Timer - Long Distance Investment?

[David Lewis]

Hi all - 

I posted a similar question on another thread but want to approach it from a different angle.

As we know Boston/sorrounding towns is an expensive market and finding cash flow is a challenge.

With that said, there's potential in other cities around the country. 

As a first timer with no existing properties and no experience do you recommend looking into long distance investments and managing thing remotely?
