I think you bring up a good point of considering offering higher returns to investors if I have to begin to search outside of my network.But my original question from the post still remains, where would you recommend I search for people interested in an opportunity like this? 

I recommend smaller unit count LL use a higher number because they do not have a crew to throw at the tenant turnover.  

I'd recommend against this. 

I recommend considering your cash flow and debt-to-income ratio before making a decision, and consulting with a financial advisor to tailor the choice to your specific needs.Good luck!

I’m curious if you’ve had experience with this approach, and if so, I’d appreciate any insights you might be able to share.Additionally, do you have a real estate agent you would recommend who specializes in investment properties in the area?

If you have never done a project, let alone over state lines, then I probably wouldn't recommend it.

Highly recommend (I require) collecting first month's rent prior to handing over keys.

If you're open to expanding your search some time in the future, I would recommend checking the Columbus OH market.

I highly recommend you work with agents in the future.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.
