How to get started investing out of state

[Jeremy Schreiber]

Hey everyone,

I live in Silicon Valley, which means I really need to look at investing out of my home state.  My dad lives in Phoenix, which is a growing market, and it seems like it could be a good place to start.  That said, I have a full-time job here in CA which means I can't relocate there for a month or two to dig deep into the market.

So how do I get started investing remotely? (BTW, it doesn't have to be Phoenix)

Thanks!
