Newbie Long Distance Investor

[Tia Wilson]

Good Morning BP!

I'm Tia and new to BP and Investing. I recently finished Rich Dad, Poor Dad and boy that pumped me up. Now reading Brandon's The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing.

I currently live in Houston but really interested in buying in Wyandotte County, KS. I recently saw an article published by Brandon not too long ago showing appreciation values there and man he was not lying. Over the last 10yrs they went up like 12% and counting. Properties are way cheaper there than here in Houston and I lived in KC, KS for 10yrs so I'm familiar with the area (just moved to Houston in 2020).

Am I getting too big for my britches by buying my first property long distance? I dont have a ton of money to hire folks to help. Just a few friends and family (not 100% reliable)

Thanks yall!
