Remote Investing - How did you get started?

I have been very interested in the idea of remote investing out of state, as I am in the New York metro area, and opportunity is both more more affordable and abundant elsewhere.

I’ve spent the last two years reading, learning, watching videos and following people who buy out of state and complete renos, flip properties and turn them into STRs - all without ever visiting the properties.

I feel I have the knowledge, technological and communicative skills to do this, yet I haven’t gotten started.

I would love to hear some personal stories and get advice from people who were once in this “analysis by paralysis” stage, and how they finally jumped in, got started and became successful.

By accident. Only an hour away, but that can be remote too.

We wanted a lake house we could also use occasionally.
