Starting out in out of state rentals properties
I live in New Jersey and I am considering investing out of state in Alabama rather then in Jersey because I can see a higher ROI almost 10 times out of 10 over there. Had a few questions if anybody has experience in this area or just out of state investing in general...
- How do I go about taking out a mortgage in out of state properties
- Where can I find good property management companies
- Should I purchase this property as an "investment property" or a "secondary property" (I do not own a home in NJ)
- Where are the best places to form my team when looking out of state ( Contractors, handymen etc..)
My overall goal is to purchase a home, rent it out, pay my mortgage off with my tenants money and make a little "passive" income monthly on top of it. Eventually I want to be able to (hopefully) own enough properties to rent out and match what I make at work with my rentals. Any advice or guidance would help. Thank you!

David Greene's book will tell you how to do this. If you'd like to get started with a bit less risk, I'd check out @Zach Lemaster over at Rent to Retirement. They provide turnkey rentals in AL. I purchased a rental through them and have been happy.
