Question: Can I buy in a nearby state?

[David Lawson]

I was just curious. I am new to investing and I'd love to keep learning, I'm determined and don't want to give up! So, I am outside of Philadelphia and it takes me 5 minutes to actually leave my house, cross the bridge and physically be in New Jersey. However my concern is this: if I do not live in New Jersey currently, is there any hurdles I should be aware of with looking at an investment house over there? Specifically multifamily if that makes any difference?

Thank you!
