Buying out of state

[Noah Mellor]

Hello BP comrades.  I have been listening to BP for the past four months.  I am a Plumber by trade for the past 19 years and for the past year have moved into the design department with my company in designing the plumbing systems.  I have a good amount of money that I want to start investing in real estate with but where I live in the Bay Area (California) it is tough to do so.  I feel my best bet is to invest out of state with multifamily and have looked at Syracuse, Milwaukee, Columbus and anywhere else where i can create a good amount of cash flow with not a hefty down.  My biggest fear is relying on a reliable property management company.  I would love any advise and look forward to continuing to learn through BP.
