Willingness to travel to invest. Thoughts?

[Brendan O'Brien]

who is thinking along these lines: if you are looking at properties 4 hours away you might as well expand your horizons to the entire continental US. Seriously. You can get to anywhere in the South or the Midwest for about the same time. Now it's true that the travel cost will be higher but there are ways around that.

The reason I say this is, I know there are other parts of the US with much stronger economic growth than the mid-Atlantic, and those will be better places for investment.

You didn't say what you plan to do with your properties but that would be really helpful to know. Are you flipping, rehabbing, buying to hold?
