Your Best Advice for Investing From a Distance

[Brian Bandas]

I'm beginning to seriously consider investing in rental properties in a city about two hours from me. The purchase prices, cashflow, and ROI that are available there are far better than what is available in my city, which has seen values blow up in the last few years. I also believe in the longer-term upside of the neighboring city and am excited about the potential equity growth there.

I'm curious, for those of you who have invested from afar like this--what single resource or piece of advice will made the biggest impact on my success investing in another city?
