Rental income property in multiple states?

[Blair Murphy]

Hi everyone,

Just curious...I live in Japan, I'm from California where my first and only rental income property so far was purchased and I have a really trustworthy friend who is a real estate agent residing in Arizona who I'm thinking to contact in regards to my next rental income property purchase because of the affordable prices in Arizona compared to California. Is this advisable or generally do you want to keep your properties in the same vicinity if possible?
