One idea that might work is to work with a PM that is already in your area  and they may be cheap enough to relieve you of that duty. 

In some jurisdictions, there is this idea that the seller has a duty to disclose material defects even if it is an "As Is" deal.

I am a Navy service member, Active Duty, currently stationed in Maryland.  

Quick question I was thinking to myself but I really wanted others opinions on the matter. Currently I am team building out of state in the market I am planning to invest in, I know of course flying out to meet broker...

If I could do it all over again I would have used my VA loan to buy a 4 plex at my first duty station.  

I bought my first house in February 2017 for $185k with the goal of buying at every duty station during my career.

There are exceptions for military members who qualify, according to HUD 4000.1 page 128:Borrowers who are military personnel, who cannot physically reside in a Property because they are on Active Duty, are still considered owner occupants and are eligible for maximum financing if a Family Member of the Borrower will occupy the subject Property as their Principal Residence, or the Borrower intends to occupy the subject Property upon discharge from military service.”So as long as you “intend” on living there you can use an FHA loan.

If you dont have a bookkeeper, it is your duty to properly track all the income and expense so that the income can be allocated to each property and eventually to each state. 

Now I do know some states have a "Transaction agent" which has a duty to the contract and not to either party.

I’m currently active duty in Colorado and intend to separate in January 2020 and love the idea of real estate investing.
