What has been your experience with out of state investing?

[Alyssa Dinson]

Hi everyone, 

I live in California and have been meeting a lot of investors who prefer to invest out of state due to California being so expensive as well as the aggressive tenant protection laws we have here. I have heard both the good and the bad sides of investing out of state and so I am curious to know what other's experience has been?  I have mostly heard about LTRs specifically in Indiana, Alabama, Texas, Michigan, and Ohio but I am open to hearing anyone's experience anywhere. Would really like to hear your thoughts!
