I grew up in the US until the age of 20, and have been living abroad for the past 15 years.  Now I want to start investing in U.S. real estate (real estate opportunities in my current location are not so attractive).  However, it would take me a 12 hour flight to reach any given destination in America.

As there are many resources on out of state investing, I was wondering: do all the same rules apply if one is living outside the country?  Does this change the calculus in terms of how desirable it is to be a long distance investor?  

I'm a newbie and have about 200k I can invest.  I want to invest in a market out of state that's good for cash flow.  But it's hard for me to decide which market to invest in.  I look at websites that say "Top 10 Real Estate Markets for Cash Flow in 2023", and they each have different opinions on what's a good market to choose from.  Which market to choose?  What are some of the markets that are as universally accepted as possible as being great for cash flow investors?
