Question for people who've invested out of state

[Patrick Britton]

I would greatly appreciate any feedback and advice from those who have invested in properties outside their own state. I live in WA and am looking at MI, IL, KY and FL. Looking for MFR properties that cashflow well, but are also in above average areas.

What were some issues you had, if any?  What would you have done differently?  What would you tell someone like me?

thanks!
