Long Distance Investing as a Realtor

[Andy Cheung]

I just obtained my real estate license last week. At the moment I’m saving up to purchase a property that is four hours driving distance from me (Windsor Ontario). However as a new real estate agent I’m not sure if I should use my own license and purchase a place there (save the commission) or if I should seek a local agent who is more familiar with the Windsor area with links to lenders and contractors.

Any thoughts?
