How far is too far??

[Victoria J.]

Hello BP,

I know this is not a question that has a "right" answer but I feel the need to ask it anyway. How far is too far from your town is too far to buy your first project? My husband and I are looking in our area and not had the best luck. I have found other potential flips about an hour and a half away. I am worried that may be too far for our first flip. It doesn't need very much work and my husband (who has construction experience) would do much of it. He seems totally fine with the drive but I wonder how similar situations turned out for some of you? Again, no right or wrong answers here. Yes if I'm willing to drive 4 hours then the answer is 4 hours. I'm just curious what others have done and maybe wished they had done differently.
