Looking to purchase investment duplex in Austin

[Joanna Cheung]

Hi All, 

I'm so glad to have found this forum! My father recently died and I'm selling his house in Dallas. I'm interested in purchasing an investment duplex in Austin with the proceeds from the sale. Does anyone have any tips for managing a property from out of state? I live in New York but my friends and family live in Austin. I'm studying to get my New York realtor license and having property management experience could potentially benefit my career.
