@Terri Haley thanks for the advice! Let me go back to the drawing board again on this -- probably need to educate myself better on long distancing. Love the insight on how you managed out of state properties--that was really amazing!

Hi BP!

I want to start out in RE investing but the area that I am in (Bay Area) is expensive. I find the risk to be higher for me as a newbie for getting into a loan to finance an expensive deal. I am thinking about investing out of state although my risk over there is that I will not be available to supervise the property and to not have control/supervision over my investment is a scary situation for me. Any thoughts on which route would you take if you were in my position and possible next steps advice on this?

Thanks

Nico
