How far away will you self manage?

I have a property owned by a family member that is a 2% property. Triplex. Fully renovated and rented. Each unit rents at 525. 

525×3= 1575

I know all the other numbers and it would be a great addition to my portfolio. Family built the building and have owned it for 30 years. But it's 50 minutes away. What do you guys think?

An hour drive is the most I would want to do... 

Is there a lot of deferred matenence on the place?  When I hear someone have owned a place for 30 years I think of differed matenence and undervalued rent.
