Out of State Buy & Hold

[Sean Abrams]

I am new to RE investing and have never purchased an investment property before. i live in Northern NJ and properties are expensive.  I think my strategy is Buy & Hold for now.  I need some direction/advice and I am looking for a partner.  I could be wrong but perhaps I should focus out of state even though there are challenges to overcome if I go that way. I am not opposed to investing in NY/NJ though.  Any thoughts?  Need a lot of direction and advice. Thanks.
