Where should you start in investing in long distance real estate

[Owen Thornton]

I am wanting to pursue long distance investing in rental properties, as local properties are out of reach for me currently, and I want to go with a more stable market such as the mid west.

Let’s take that for example.

Would you first suggest perhaps to research or familiarize yourself with a few areas that you’re interested in, and really get to know the place before digging in much further?

Perhaps get a good grasp of an area, then start to find an agent(s) to get in touch with and get started with the process of looking for deals.
