New Member from SoCal!
Hello!
I've been reading lots of posts and watching BP podcasts for a while now. I'm new to real estate and wanted to try and invest out of state cause of the high prices out here in SoCal. I'm looking into duplexes or multi family 4 unit properties. What is the process for investing out of state? Do I have to actually go out there and view properties or would doing extensive research and getting answers be good enough before purchasing? just wanted to gather as much info as possible before stepping out there.
Thanks!!
