Long distance investing

[Christopher Valerio]

I'm currently living in NY and with recent landlord-tenant laws, extremely high property taxes among other things, its not worth purchasing a rental in my area. However, the idea of long distance investing has been on my mind for a while now. How should I go about getting started? Any tips or ideas? And are there any markets recommended for investing? What should I look for when picking a foreign market? Thanks in advance!
