Out of your market investing

[Account Closed]

I live in south florida and looking at multifam properties. It seems like there are lower priced properties with better returns in north florida and out of state areas. I was concerned about getting property in my local areas because I know the markets better and can be available to go to the properties. *Anybody have properties scattered throughout the country? *How often if ever do you see your properties? *What tools do you use to find the hot markets around the country or state? Not sure if I should grind it out in my area or start expanding the search area. Any help is appreciated!
